How to convert revolutions per second to revolutions per minute
Angular speed measures rotation, not linear speed. To find tangential speed you also need the radius. Revolutions per minute are divided by 60 when converted to revolutions per second.
Use x for the value in rev/s, b for the intermediate value in rad/s, and y for the result in rpm.
rpm = rev/s × 6.283185307179586 ÷ 0.10471975511965977
Worked examples
10 rev/s ≈ 600 rpm
Step 1: (10 × 6.28318530718) ≈ 62.8318530718 rad/s.
Step 2: 62.8318530718 ÷ 0.10471975512 ≈ 600 rpm.20 rev/s ≈ 1200 rpm
Step 1: (20 × 6.28318530718) ≈ 125.663706144 rad/s.
Step 2: 125.663706144 ÷ 0.10471975512 ≈ 1200 rpm.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Revolutions per second
Revolutions per second (rev/s) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 6.28318530718), where x is the numerical value in rev/s. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Revolutions per minute
Revolutions per minute (rpm) measures velocity angular under the conventions above. The base value in rad/s is (x × 0.10471975512), where x is the numerical value in rpm. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
