radian per minute to revolution per minute
Convert radian per minute (rad/min) to revolution per minute (rpm). Use an editable angular velocity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 rad/min = 0.1591549431 rpm
Conversion formula
One radian per minute equals 0.1591549431 revolution per minute. Multiply your value in radian per minute by this factor to get revolution per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 radian per minute:5 × 0.1591549431 = 0.7957747155 rpm

About these measurements
Angular velocity describes rotation per unit time.
The base reference used here is the radian per second. One radian per minute is 0.01666666667 base units; one revolution per minute is 0.1047197551 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert rad/min to rpm?
Multiply the quantity in rad/min by 0.1591549431. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the revolution per minute to radian per minute converter.
