Meters per second to microseconds per meter
Type a value in m/s to get it in µs/m instantly.
333.3µs/m
That's about the same as sandstone. A reflector one kilometer down would return in about 666.7 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 m/s to µs/m
Slowness is the reciprocal of velocity: µs/ft = 304,800 ÷ (m/s), and µs/m = 1,000,000 ÷ (m/s).
Example: 3,000 m/s = 333.333 µs/m.
