revolution per minute to radian per second
Convert revolution per minute (rpm) to radian per second (rad/s). Use an editable angular velocity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 rpm = 0.1047197551 rad/s
Conversion formula
One revolution per minute equals 0.1047197551 radian per second. Multiply your value in revolution per minute by this factor to get radian per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 revolution per minute:5 × 0.1047197551 = 0.5235987756 rad/s

About these measurements
Angular velocity describes rotation per unit time.
The base reference used here is the radian per second. One revolution per minute is 0.1047197551 base units; one radian per second is 1 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 rpm to rad/s?
Multiply the quantity in rpm by 0.1047197551. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the radian per second to revolution per minute converter.
