How to Convert Hertz to RPM
The hertz and revolutions per minute are both units of frequency. 1 hertz equals 59.999999999 rpm. This means to convert hertz to rpm, you multiply by 59.999999999.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 Hz to rpm:
We need to convert hertz to rpm
Since 1 Hz = 59.999999999 RPM, multiply by 59.999999999
5 × 59.999999999 = 299.99999999
5 Hz = 299.99999999 RPM

About These Units
Hertz (Hz)
The hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Hertz measures sound pitch (human hearing: 20-20,000 Hz), AC power (50/60 Hz), and oscillations. Middle C on a piano is 261.63 Hz. Named after physicist Heinrich Hertz.
Revolutions per Minute (RPM)
Revolutions per minute (RPM) measures rotational speed. Car engines idle at 600-1000 RPM, redline at 5000-9000 RPM. Hard drives spin at 5400-15000 RPM. Washing machines spin at 400-1800 RPM. One RPM equals 1/60 Hz.
