The Knot Converter supports 33 different speed units. This makes it possible to convert freely between knots [kn], metric, Anglo-American, nautical, and other internationally common units. All speed measurements are converted in real time and displayed with up to 20 decimal places, ensuring sufficient accuracy.
Conversion of knots
In order to convert knots [kn] into another speed unit, a conversion value is required. This value can be determined using a conversion table. However, the table is relatively large, confusing, and difficult for inexperienced users to understand. The following tool provides a solution to this problem by allowing the rounded conversion values for knots [kn] to be queried directly from the conversion table.

Conversion between knots and kilometers per hour
A quick and precise conversion between knots [kn] and kilometers per hour [km/h] is straightforward and requires only multiplication or division by 1.852. The conversion from knots [kn] to kilometers per hour [km/h] is done by multiplying the value in knots [kn] by 1.852. To reverse the conversion, divide the value in kilometers per hour [km/h] by 1.852 to obtain knots [kn].
- Kilometers per hour [km/h] = knots [kn] * 1.852
- Knots [kn] = kilometers per hour [km/h] ÷ 1.852
Conversion between knots and meters per second
You can easily convert between meters per second [m/s] and knots [kn] using the formulas provided below. For accurate results, it is important to follow the correct order of mathematical operations.
- Knots [kn] = meters per second [m/s] ÷ 18.52 * 36
- Meters per second [m/s] = knots [kn] * 18.52 ÷ 36
Conversion between knots and meters per minute
The fastest and easiest way to convert between meters per minute [m/min] and knots [kn] is to use the converter above. Manual conversions are also possible and can be done using the formulas provided below.
- Knots [kn] = meters per minute [m/min] ÷ 111.12 * 3.6
- Meters per minute [m/min] = knots [kn] * 111.12 ÷ 3.6
Conversion between knots and meters per hour
Conversions between knots [kn] and meters per hour [m/h] are straightforward and can be performed with simple math. The required conversion factor is 1,852. To convert a value from knots [kn] to meters per hour [m/h], multiply the number of knots [kn] by 1,852. For values in meters per hour [m/h], divide by 1,852 to get the equivalent in knots [kn].
- Meters per hour [m/h] = knots [kn] * 1,852
- Knots [kn] = meters per hour [m/h] ÷ 1,852
Conversion between knots and centimeters per hour
The conversion between knots [kn] and centimeters per hour [cm/h] is quick to perform and requires only basic mathematical operations an the conversion factor 185,200. Multiply the number of knots [kn] by 185,200 to get the converted value in centimeters per hour [cm/h]. To convert a value in centimeters per hour [cm/h] back to knots [kn], simply divide the amount of centimeters per hour [cm/h] by 185,200.
- Centimeters per hour [cm/h] = knots [kn] * 185,200
- Knots [kn] = centimeters per hour [cm/h] ÷ 185,200
