How to Convert Degrees per Second to Revolutions per Hour
To convert degrees per second to revolutions per hour, multiply the angular velocity by the following conversion ratio: 10 revolutions per hour/degree per second.
Since one degree per second is equal to 10 revolutions per hour, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angular velocity in revolutions per hour is equal to the angular velocity in degrees per second multiplied by 10.
For example, here's how to convert 5 degrees per second to revolutions per hour using the formula above.
How Many Revolutions per Hour Are in a Degree per Second?
There are 10 revolutions per hour in a degree per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our degree per second to revolution per hour calculator automatically converts your angular velocity measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Degrees per Second and revolutions per hour are both units used to measure angular velocity. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Degree per Second?
A degree per second is a unit of angular velocity equal to 0.0174533 radians per second (rad/s), the base unit for angular velocity. Angular rotation of 1 degree per second (π/180 rad/s). [1]
The degree per second is classified as a standard unit of angular velocity. Degrees per Second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.
When working with degrees per second (°/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, degrees per second (°/s) are widely used across standard angular velocity applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Revolution per Hour?
A revolution per hour is a unit of angular velocity equal to 0.0017453 radians per second (rad/s), the base unit for angular velocity. One full rotation per hour. [2]
The revolution per hour is classified as a standard unit of angular velocity. Revolutions per Hour can be abbreviated as r/h; for example, 1 revolution per hour can be written as 1 r/h.
When working with revolutions per hour (r/h) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, revolutions per hour (r/h) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale angular velocity measurements within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting angular velocity between degrees per second (°/s) and revolutions per hour (r/h), keep full floating-point precision (1 °/s = 10 r/h; 1 r/h = 0.1 °/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final revolution per hour figure to match your instrument tolerance.
