Microseconds per foot to meters per second
Type a value in µs/ft to get it in m/s instantly.
101.6m/s
Nothing on our list is smaller: air is 3.4× faster. A reflector one kilometer down would return in about 19,690 ms.
Convert the other way: m/s to µs/ft
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 µs/ft to m/s
Slowness is the reciprocal of velocity: µs/ft = 304,800 ÷ (m/s), and µs/m = 1,000,000 ÷ (m/s).
Example: 3,000 µs/ft = 101.6 m/s.
