How to Convert Revolutions per Second to Revolutions per Minute
To convert revolutions per second to revolutions per minute, multiply the angular velocity by the following conversion ratio: 60 revolutions per minute/revolution per second.
Since one revolution per second is equal to 60 revolutions per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angular velocity in revolutions per minute is equal to the angular velocity in revolutions per second multiplied by 60.
For example, here's how to convert 5 revolutions per second to revolutions per minute using the formula above.
How Many Revolutions per Minute Are in a Revolution per Second?
There are 60 revolutions per minute in a revolution per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our revolution per second to revolution per minute calculator automatically converts your angular velocity measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Revolutions per Second and revolutions per minute are both units used to measure angular velocity. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Revolution per Second?
A revolution per second is a unit of angular velocity equal to 6.2831853 radians per second (rad/s), the base unit for angular velocity. One full rotation per second (2π ≈ 6.28319 rad/s). [1]
The revolution per second is classified as a standard unit of angular velocity. Revolutions per Second can be abbreviated as r/s; for example, 1 revolution per second can be written as 1 r/s.
When working with revolutions per second (r/s) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, revolutions per second (r/s) are widely used across standard angular velocity applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Revolution per Minute?
A revolution per minute is a unit of angular velocity equal to 0.1047198 radians per second (rad/s), the base unit for angular velocity. One full rotation per minute (2π/60 ≈ 0.10472 rad/s). [2]
The revolution per minute is classified as a standard unit of angular velocity. Revolutions per Minute can be abbreviated as r/min; for example, 1 revolution per minute can be written as 1 r/min.
When working with revolutions per minute (r/min) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, revolutions per minute (r/min) are widely used across standard angular velocity applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting angular velocity between revolutions per second (r/s) and revolutions per minute (r/min), keep full floating-point precision (1 r/s = 60 r/min; 1 r/min = 0.0166667 r/s) during intermediate calculations and round only the final revolution per minute figure to match your instrument tolerance.
