Where the revolution per hour fits
The next smaller angular velocity unit is the degree per minute (°/min). 1 rev/h = 6 °/min, and 1 °/min ≈ 0.1666666667 rev/h.
The next larger angular velocity unit is the radian per minute (rad/min). 1 rev/h ≈ 0.1047197551 rad/min, and 1 rad/min ≈ 9.549296586 rev/h.
