Velocity
Convert metre per second (m/s) to mile per hour (mph). Velocity is distance per unit time — the line-sizing quantity that flags erosion, noise, and pressure drop.
1 m/s = 2.236936 mph
To convert metre per second to mile per hour, multiply the m/s value by 2.236936. To go the other way, divide by 2.236936 (or multiply by 0.44704).
| m/s | mph |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2.236936 |
| 2 | 4.473873 |
| 5 | 11.18468 |
| 10 | 22.36936 |
| 25 | 55.92341 |
| 50 | 111.8468 |
| 100 | 223.6936 |
| 250 | 559.2341 |
| 500 | 1118.468 |
| 1000 | 2236.936 |
Line velocities are checked in m/s or ft/s against service-specific guidance bands.
High velocity means high friction loss and erosion risk; low velocity risks settling in slurry lines.
Worked example. A velocity of 2 m/s is 4.473873 mph.
Multiply the value in m/s by 2.236936 to get mph. For example, 10 m/s = 22.36936 mph.
1 m/s equals 2.236936 mph.
