Hertz to Revolutions per minute (rpm) (Hz to rpm)

Convert hertz to revolutions per minute (rpm): 1 Hz = 60 rpm. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

Formula

1 Hz = 60 rpm

revolutions per minute (rpm) = hertz × 60 — reverse: hertz = revolutions per minute (rpm) × 0.01666666667

The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: Hz) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

FAQ

How many revolutions per minute (rpm) are in one hertz?

1 Hz = 60 rpm. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

What is the formula to convert hertz to revolutions per minute (rpm)?

Multiply the value in hertz by 60: revolutions per minute (rpm) = hertz × 60. For example, 5 Hz = 300 rpm.

How do I convert revolutions per minute (rpm) back to hertz?

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.01666666667 (hertz = revolutions per minute (rpm) × 0.01666666667), or use the revolutions per minute (rpm)-to-hertz page.
