What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angular acceleration measurements from revolution per square minute (rev/min²) to radian per square minute (rad/min²), enabling precise representation of rotational acceleration in radians.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular acceleration value in revolution per square minute.
  • Select revolution/square minute as the input unit.
  • Choose radian/square minute as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the result instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts angular acceleration units specifically between revolution/square minute and radian/square minute.
  • Uses a standard conversion factor based on the relation 1 rev/min² = 6.2831853064 rad/min².
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 2 rev/min² converts to 12.5663706128 rad/min² using the formula 2 × 6.2831853064.
  • 0.5 rev/min² converts to 3.1415926532 rad/min² by multiplying 0.5 with 6.2831853064.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying spin-up or spin-down ramp rates for centrifuges, turntables, or industrial mixers operating in minutes.
  • Documenting motor start/stop profiles where speed changes are measured on a minute timescale.
  • Test and calibration procedures involving slow-changing mechanical systems monitored per minute.
  • Defining acceleration limits for motor controllers and rotary stages when speed is expressed in revolutions per minute.
  • Describing acceleration profiles of telescopes, antennas, or instrumentation logged on minute intervals.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent time units when entering values to avoid errors in conversion results.
  • Use this tool to express angular acceleration in standard radian units for better compatibility with control systems.
  • Verify unit selections carefully, especially when dealing with different angular acceleration units or time bases.

Limitations

  • Requires consistent usage of time units in minutes squared; mixing seconds and minutes leads to incorrect results.
  • Accuracy depends on the correct constant value for π and may be affected by numerical rounding.
  • Not suitable when rotational speed units differ from those specified, such as when acceleration is measured over seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does revolution per square minute measure?
Revolution per square minute quantifies angular acceleration as the rate of change of rotational speed in revolutions per minute per minute.

Why convert revolution/square minute to radian/square minute?
Converting to radian/square minute allows expressing angular acceleration in standard units compatible with control and instrumentation systems.

Can I convert if my time units are in seconds instead of minutes?
No, this conversion only applies when time units are consistently in minutes squared to ensure accuracy.

Key Terminology
