# 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.

- Page id: `hz-to-rpm` · Quantity: Frequency (`frequency`, base unit Hz) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/hz-to-rpm · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/hz-to-rpm.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/hz-to-rpm.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 Hz = 60 rpm`
- `revolutions per minute (rpm) = hertz × 60`
- Reverse: `hertz = revolutions per minute (rpm) × 0.01666666667`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 Hz = 300 rpm
- 12.5 Hz = 750 rpm
- 100 Hz = 6000 rpm

## 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.
