Revolutions per minute

July 20th, 2009

Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, r/min, or r·min−1) is a unit of frequency: the number of full rotations completed in one minute around a fixed axis. It is most commonly used as a measure of rotational speed or angular velocity of some mechanical component.

Standards organizations generally recommend the symbol r/min, which is more consistent with the general use of unit symbols. This is not enforced as an international standard. In French for example, tr/mn (tours par minute) is commonly used, and the German unit reads U/min (Umdrehungen pro Minute) or 1/min (= 1 min-1).

The corresponding International System of Units (SI) unit is hertz. To convert revolutions per minute to revolutions per second (hertz), divide by 60. To convert from hertz to RPM, multiply by 60.

1/min = 1 rpm= 1/(60s) = 16.667 milliseconds = 1/60 Hertz.

Another common SI unit for angular velocity is radians per second (rad·s−1):

1 r/min = 2π rad·min−1 = 2π/60 rad·s−1 ≈ 0.10471976 rad·s−1
