What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert angular velocity values from degree per hour (°/h) to revolution per hour (r/h). It simplifies the process of expressing angular rates either as partial degrees or complete revolutions per hour, which is useful in various scientific and industrial applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angular velocity value in degree/hour (°/h)
  • Choose the target unit as revolution/hour (r/h)
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value
  • Review the result and use it for your application

Key Features

  • Converts between degree/hour and revolution/hour angular velocity units
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Supports applications in astronomy, industrial equipment monitoring, and positioning systems
  • Provides direct formula and conversion rate for clarity
  • Displays conversion examples for better understanding

Examples

  • 10 °/h converts to 0.027777778 r/h
  • 360 °/h converts exactly to 1 r/h

Common Use Cases

  • Describing Earth's or other planetary slow rotation rates in astronomy
  • Monitoring slow rotations in industrial equipment like rotary kilns and large mixers
  • Specifying tracking errors and drift rates in telescope or antenna pointing systems
  • Expressing slow attitude drift of spacecraft or gyroscopes in navigation systems

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion for slow angular velocities to maintain precision
  • Choose revolution/hour (r/h) to simplify interpretation when dealing with full rotations
  • Consult alternative units like revolutions per minute for faster rotation rates
  • Verify unit compatibility in scientific or industrial contexts

Limitations

  • Conversion involves fractional revolutions which can reduce precision
  • Best suited for slow angular velocities rather than high-speed rotations
  • Degree/hour and revolution/hour measure different aspects of angle change; careful use is required
