Use this rpm-angular to revolutions-per-second converter to change a revolution per minute measurement into its revolution per second equivalent. Enter a number in the calculator above and the result updates instantly.
Angular velocity conversions are useful for motors, rotating machinery, wheels, turbines, robotics, physics, and motion analysis.
What is a revolution per minute?
Revolution per Minute (rpm) is a angular velocity unit.
What is a revolution per second?
Revolution per Second (rps) is a angular velocity unit.
Rpm Angular to Revolutions Per Second Converter formula
To convert revolutions per minute to revolutions per second, use the formula below.
1 rps = 60 rpm. This relationship is the conversion factor used by the calculator.
How to convert rpm-angular to revolutions-per-second
Start with the revolution per minute value, apply the formula, and round the result only after the calculation is complete.
Example: 10 rpm = 0.1666666667 rps.
- 1 rpm = 0.0166666667 rps
- 10 rpm = 0.1666666667 rps
- 100 rpm = 1.6666666667 rps
Manual conversion steps
- Write down the value in revolutions per minute.
- Use the conversion formula: revolutions per second = revolutions per minute / 60.
- Calculate the result in revolutions per second.
- Round the answer to the number of decimal places you need.
For quick checking, the converter above performs the same calculation automatically.
Common rpm-angular to revolutions-per-second use cases
This conversion is useful in practical situations where measurements need to move between different unit systems or audiences.
- Convert revolutions per minute to revolutions per second when you need equivalent measurements in another unit.
Common mistakes when converting rpm-angular to revolutions-per-second
These are the most common issues to watch for when doing this conversion by hand.
- Do not mix up the direction of the conversion. rpm-angular to revolutions-per-second is not the same as revolutions-per-second to rpm-angular.
- Avoid rounding too early. Keep the full result during the calculation, then round the final answer.
