Explanation
revolutions per minute and hertz are units of frequency. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 revolutions per minute = 0.0166666667 hertz, and 1 hertz = 60 revolutions per minute. Because one hertz represents a larger amount than one revolutions per minute, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.
How to convert revolutions per minute to hertz
- Enter the value in revolutions per minute (rpm).
- Multiply it by 0.0166666667.
- The result is the equivalent value in hertz (Hz).
- Round the result if needed.
Worked example
