You need more information to specify exactly what you are trying to do here, but I can give you one common example that will hopefully get you on the right track.
If you take the example of a cylinder spinning about it's axis, then you can convert between its rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) and the tangential surface velocity (m/s) if you know the diameter of the cylinder. Essentially, you divide the time of one rotation into the circumference of the cylinder.
Legend:
V = tangential surface velocity
C = circumference of cylinder
D = diameter of cylinder
RPM = revolutions per minute
Pi = 3.14
Equations:
V = C * RPM = Pi * D * RPM
or
RPM = V / (Pi * D)
Example:
A cylinder with a diameter of 1 meter is rotating at 60 rpm. Its tangential surface velocity is:
V = (3.14) * (1 m) * (60 rpm) = 188.4 m/min = 3.14 m/s.

If you are talking about revolution of tires on an automobile traveling at a certain speed then you have to know the circumference of the tire divided into the travel distance per minute.

How do you convert meters per second to feet per minute?
Meters per second x 3.28 = feet per second.
What SI units should be used for flow per area - ie to convert gpm per ft2 to SI units?
If your flow is in Volume/Time, e.g. m3/s, and it's given per area, e.g. m2, you come up with the flow speed. An appopiate unit would be m/s Example: If your flow is 6 cubic meters per second, and this is given for 2 square meters, the flow has a speed of 3 meters per second. Now the conversion to SI: 1 gpm = 6.30902e-5 m3/s 1 ft2 = 0.092903 m2 So 1 gpm per ft2 would give a flow speed of 6.79098e-4 m/s (0.68 millimeter per second) If you don't have a volumetric flow, use the density of the material to convert it.
