Convert RPS to RPM
Type the number of rps that you wish to convert to rpm.
How to Convert RPS to RPM
The revolutions per second and revolutions per minute are both units of frequency. 1 revolutions per second equals 59.999999999 rpm. This means to convert rps to rpm, you multiply by 59.999999999.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 RPS to rpm:
We need to convert rps to rpm
Since 1 RPS = 59.999999999 RPM, multiply by 59.999999999
5 × 59.999999999 = 299.99999999
5 RPS = 299.99999999 RPM

About These Units
Revolutions per Second (RPS)
Revolutions per second (RPS) equals hertz for rotational motion—one complete rotation per second. Ceiling fans typically rotate at 1-4 RPS. Centrifuges operate at hundreds to thousands of RPS. Used in scientific and engineering contexts.
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.
