How to Convert Meter per Minute to Meter per Second
- 1 m/min = 0.01666666667 m/s
- 1 m/s = 60 m/min
- Example: convert 15 m/min to m/s: 15 m/min = 15 × 0.01666666667 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Formula
m/s = m/min × 0.01666666666667
or m/s = m/min ÷ 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 m/min = 1 m ÷ 60 s (equivalently 1 m³/min of flow per 1 m² of cloth)
- 1 m/s = 1 m ÷ 1 s (equivalently 1 m³/s of flow per 1 m² of area)
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Meter per Minute definition: meter per minute; Meter per Second definition: meter per second.
Worked examples
- An air-to-cloth ratio of 1.5 m/min is a face velocity of 0.025 m/s.
1.5 m/min × 0.01666666667 = 0.025 m/s - 60 m/min is 1 m/s.
60 m/min × 0.01666666667 = 1 m/s

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert m/min to m/s?
Divide by 60.
How many meters per second are in 1 meter per minute?
1 m/min = 0.01666666667 m/s.
How do I convert meters per minute to meters per second?
Multiply the value in m/min by 0.01666666667, or divide it by 60. For example, 15 m/min × 0.01666666667 = 0.25 m/s.
Is the m/min to m/s conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
