Revolution per second quick reference
| Revolution per second | Revolution per minute | Radian per second | Radian per minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rev/s | = 60 rpm | ≈ 6.283185307 rad/s | ≈ 376.9911184 rad/min |
| 10 rev/s | = 600 rpm | ≈ 62.83185307 rad/s | ≈ 3769.911184 rad/min |
| 100 rev/s | = 6000 rpm | ≈ 628.3185307 rad/s | ≈ 37699.11184 rad/min |
| 1000 rev/s | = 60000 rpm | ≈ 6283.185307 rad/s | ≈ 376991.1184 rad/min |
