Thousands of feet per second to meters per second
Type a value in kft/s to get it in m/s instantly.
914,400m/s
That's 114× as fast as the upper mantle — nothing on our list beats it. A reflector one kilometer down would return in about 2.187 ms.
What it means
How fast does sound travel?
Rock velocity rises with depth, compaction and cementation, so a single figure describes one interval rather than a whole well.
The math
How to convert kft/s to m/s
To convert thousands of feet per second to meters per second, multiply by 304.8.
Example: 3,000 kft/s × 304.8 = 914,400 m/s.
In the other direction, 1 m/s = 0.00328084 kft/s.
