Length

m to ft conversion

Convert metre (m) to foot (ft). Length units span pipe diameters (mm, inch), plant dimensions (m, ft), and roughness (µm) — mixing metric and imperial is routine.

1 m = 3.28084 ft

Formula

To convert metre to foot, multiply the m value by 3.28084. To go the other way, divide by 3.28084 (or multiply by 0.3048).

Used in practice

Pipe sizes are labelled in inches (NPS) but calculated in mm; equipment layouts mix metres and feet.

Velocity scales with the inverse square of diameter, so a small length error compounds quickly in flow calculations.

Worked example. A length of 0.1 m is 0.328084 ft.
