Feet per second to Meters per second Converter
Convert feet per second to meters per second. The formula used here is 1 foot per second = 0.3048 meters per second. The formula is m/s = ft/s × 0.3048; 1 ft/s is 0.3048 m/s.
A US customary and imperial speed unit used in engineering and fluid velocity.
The SI derived unit for speed and velocity.
Start with your value in feet per second, then apply the formula below. It stays visible so you can catch rounding mistakes instead of just copying the output.
For pipe velocity, ventilation, or motion estimates, keep enough decimals for the design limit and round only after the unit conversion.
Meters and feet are exactly related, so practical accuracy usually depends on the original speed measurement. This page displays converted values with up to 6 decimal places by default.
| Feet per second | Meters per second |
|---|---|
| 1 ft/s | 0.3048 m/s |
| 3 ft/s | 0.9144 m/s |
| 5 ft/s | 1.524 m/s |
| 10 ft/s | 3.048 m/s |
| 20 ft/s | 6.096 m/s |
Useful for checking target pipe velocity assumptions. Use the same formula with your exact input if the measurement needs to be documented.
Useful for comparing engineering and physics references. Use the same formula with your exact input if the measurement needs to be documented.
Useful for reviewing fluid, air, and motion measurements. Use the same formula with your exact input if the measurement needs to be documented.
How do I convert feet per second to meters per second?
Enter the value in feet per second and apply m/s = ft/s × 0.3048. Round the meters per second result after the conversion, not before.
What is 1 foot per second in meters per second?
1 ft/s equals 0.3048 m/s with the current rounding setting. Keep more decimal places when the result feeds another calculation.
What is 3 ft/s in m/s?
3 ft/s is 0.9144 m/s. It appears in the lookup table so you can compare it with nearby amounts.
Can I convert meters per second back to feet per second?
Yes. Use the reverse Meters per second to Feet per second converter if you need to go the other direction.
How accurate is this feet per second to meters per second conversion?
The calculator runs the formula in your browser and rounds results to 6 decimal places by default. Meters and feet are exactly related, so practical accuracy usually depends on the original speed measurement.
