Revolutions Per Minute to Degrees Per Second Conversion
Enter the frequency in revolutions per minute below to get the value converted to degrees per second.
How to Convert Revolutions Per Minute to Degrees Per Second
To convert a revolution per minute measurement to a degree per second measurement, multiply the frequency by the conversion ratio.
Since one revolution per minute is equal to 6 degrees per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The frequency in degrees per second is equal to the revolutions per minute multiplied by 6.
How Many Degrees Per Second are in a Revolution Per Minute?
There are 6 degrees per second in a revolution per minute, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 RPM = 6 °/s
Revolutions per minute and degrees per second are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Revolutions Per Minute
Revolutions per minute are a measure of the number of turns, or revolutions, that occur per 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 = RevolutionsTimem
Degrees Per Second
Degrees per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in degrees per second.
Degrees per second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]
