Angular Velocity Converter with Revolution per Minute (RPM) to Radian per Second (rad/s) Conversion

Convert Revolution to Radian using the exact conversion factor. This page provides the formula, reference values, and practical context for engineering, technical calculations, and professional measurement use.

Conversion Formula

Revolution per Minute (RPM) = Radian per Second (rad/s) × 0.10472

To convert Revolution per Minute (RPM) to Radian per Second (rad/s), multiply the value by 0.10472. The conversion factor is based on standardized unit definitions and is suitable for engineering analysis, system design, and professional measurement workflows.

Example

Convert 1 rpm to rad/s.

• Step 1: Write the formula: rad/s = rpm × 0.10472
• Step 2: Substitute: 1 × 0.10472
• Step 3: Result: 0.10472 rad/s

So, 1 rpm = 0.10472 rad/s.
