What Is This Tool?
This tool converts angular velocity measurements from revolution per second (r/s), which counts rotations each second, to revolution per minute (r/min), specifying rotations each minute. It is useful for translating rotational speeds into commonly used units for mechanical and industrial applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in revolution per second (r/s) that you want to convert
-
Select the from-unit as revolution/second (r/s)
-
Select the to-unit as revolution/minute (r/min)
-
Click on the convert button to get the result in r/min
-
View the output and apply it to your specific measurement or control needs

Analyzing engine RPM in automotive diagnostics and tuning
-
Controlling speed of fans, pumps, and machining spindles
-
Measuring rotational speeds of laboratory centrifuges and turntables
-
Reporting rotation frequency of scientific instruments or devices
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the rotational speed is constant for accurate conversion
-
Use this conversion to express speeds in units compatible with control systems
-
Cross-check results when converting related angular velocity units like radians per second
-
Apply the tool for practical industrial and laboratory monitoring needs
Limitations
-
Assumes steady rotational speed without fluctuations
-
Does not account for transient or variable speeds over time
-
Additional conversions needed for angular velocity units such as radians per second
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor from revolution per second to revolution per minute?
-
One revolution per second equals sixty revolutions per minute.
-
When should I convert r/s to r/min?
-
When you need to express rotational speeds in units more standard for mechanical or industrial equipment that usually specify speeds per minute.
-
Can this converter be used for variable rotational speeds?
-
This conversion assumes constant speed; variable speed measurements may need additional time-resolved methods.
Key Terminology
-
Revolution per second (r/s)
-
A unit of angular speed representing one full rotation completed each second.
-
Revolution per minute (r/min)
-
A rotational speed unit indicating how many full revolutions occur in one minute.
-
Angular velocity
-
The rate of change of angular position of a rotating body, typically measured in radians or revolutions per unit time.
