Convert Meters per Second to Meters per Minute
1 meter per second (m/s) equals 60 meters per minute (m/min).
1 m/s = 60 m/min

How to Convert Meter per Second to Meter per Minute
- 1 m/s = 60 m/min
- 1 m/min = 0.01666666667 m/s
- Example: convert 15 m/s to m/min: 15 m/s = 15 × 60 m/min = 900 m/min
Formula
m/min = m/s × 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 m/s = 1 m ÷ 1 s (equivalently 1 m³/s of flow per 1 m² of area)
- 1 m/min = 1 m ÷ 60 s (equivalently 1 m³/min of flow per 1 m² of cloth)
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Meter per Second definition: meter per second; Meter per Minute definition: meter per minute.
Worked examples
- A baghouse at 0.02 m/s runs at an air-to-cloth ratio of 1.2 m/min.
0.02 m/s × 60 = 1.2 m/min - 1 m/s is 60 m/min.
1 m/s × 60 = 60 m/min

Where it's used
Dust-collector air-to-cloth ratios are quoted in m/min (m³/min per m² of cloth). Multiply m/s by 60.

Frequently asked questions
What is a typical air-to-cloth ratio?
Pulse-jet baghouses commonly run around 1–2 m/min (3.28 ft/min to 6.56 ft/min), depending on the dust.
How many meters per minute are in 1 meter per second?
1 m/s = 60 m/min.
How do I convert meters per second to meters per minute?
Multiply the value in m/s by 60. For example, 15 m/s × 60 = 900 m/min.
Is the m/s to m/min 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).
