Speed Converters

Pick a family to convert between common metric, US/imperial, and nautical speed units using exact definitions.

Explanation

Speed families here are derived from exact base definitions: 1 foot = 0.3048 meters, 1 mile = 1609.344 meters, 1 hour = 3600 seconds, and 1 knot = 1852 meters per hour.

How to use this hub

  1. Choose a converter family.
  2. If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
  3. For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.

If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these speed factors derived?

Each factor is derived through meters-per-second so all metric, US/imperial, and nautical conversions stay internally consistent.

Are these speed ratios fixed?

Yes. They come from exact unit definitions, so conversion factors are stable and reproducible.
