Convert Square metres per minute to Square inches per second
Convert Square metres per minute (m²/min) to Square inches per second (in²/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
in²/s = m²/min × 25.833385
About Square metres per minute
The square metre per minute (m²/min) equals 1/60 m²/s ≈0.01667 m²/s, a non-standard unit seen in some process-engineering contexts where heat soak times are measured in minutes rather than seconds. Nuclear fuel rod thermal analysis and large refractory furnace lining design occasionally cite diffusivity in m²/min. 1 m²/min = 1/60 m²/s ≈ 6000 cm²/s.
About Square inches per second
The square inch per second (in²/s) equals 6.4516 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s, used in high-speed thermal analyses such as ballistic impact heating, explosive detonation studies, and rapid induction heating of steel billets. Values for high-conductivity copper alloys reach ≈1-2 in²/s; for mild steel ≈0.3 in²/s. 1 in²/s = 0.00064516 m²/s = 3600 in²/h.
