How to Convert Radians per Second to Revolutions per Minute

To convert a measurement in radians per second to a measurement in revolutions per minute, multiply the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 9.549297 revolutions per minute/radian per second.

Since one radian per second is equal to 9.549297 revolutions per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:

revolutions per minute = radians per second × 9.549297

The frequency in revolutions per minute is equal to the frequency in radians per second multiplied by 9.549297.

For example, here's how to convert 5 radians per second to revolutions per minute using the formula above.
revolutions per minute = (5 rad/s × 9.549297) = 47.746483 RPM

How Many Revolutions per Minute Are in One Radian per Second?

There are 9.549297 revolutions per minute in one radian per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 rad/s = 9.549297 RPM

The following formula can also be used to convert the angular frequency in radians per second to the frequency in revolutions per minute:

RPM = 60 × rad/s /

Thus, the frequency in revolutions per minutes is equal to the angular frequency in radians per second divided by 2π times 60.

For example, here's how to convert 5 rad/s to RPM using this formula.
RPM = 60 × 5 rad/s /
RPM = 300 /
RPM = 47.746483

Radians per second and revolutions per minute are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Are Radians per Second?

Radians per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in the angular orientation of an object over one second.

Radians per second can be abbreviated as rad/s; for example, 1 radian per second can be written as 1 rad/s.

In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[1] For example, rad/s is expressing a change in angle relative to a change in time.

What Are Revolutions per Minute?

Revolutions per minute are a measure of the number of rotations, turns, or revolutions, that an object makes each minute.

Revolutions per minute can be abbreviated as RPM, and are also sometimes abbreviated as rev/min or r/min. For example, 1 revolution per minute can be written as 1 RPM, 1 rev/min, or 1 r/min.

Revolutions per minute can be expressed using the formula:

RPM = Revolutions / Time in Minutes
