Frequently asked questions

Handy approximation?

Multiply m/s by 200 for a quick FPM estimate — it is within 2%.

Anemometer units?

Most meters switch between both; make sure you note which you recorded.

What do I need to enter into the m/s to FPM Calculator?

Just 1 value: air velocity. Every field starts with a realistic example, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result update instantly.

How does the m/s to FPM Calculator work out the answer?

One metre per second equals 196.85 feet per minute. It applies the formula FPM = m/s x 196.85 and shows the working so you can check each step by hand.

Is the m/s to FPM Calculator free, and do I need an account?

It is completely free with no sign-up, no download and no usage limit. Everything is calculated in your browser, so the numbers you type never leave your device.
