Radians to Turns (revolutions) (rad to turn)
Convert radians to turns (revolutions): 1 rad = 0.159155 turn. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 rad = 0.159155 turn
turns (revolutions) = radians × 0.1591549431 — reverse: radians = turns (revolutions) × 6.283185307
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: rad) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 5 rad = 0.795775 turn
- 12.5 rad = 1.98944 turn
- 100 rad = 15.9155 turn

FAQ
How many turns (revolutions) are in one radian?
1 rad = 0.159155 turn. 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 radians to turns (revolutions)?
Multiply the value in radians by 0.1591549431: turns (revolutions) = radians × 0.1591549431. For example, 5 rad = 0.795775 turn.
How do I convert turns (revolutions) back to radians?
Multiply by the inverse factor 6.283185307 (radians = turns (revolutions) × 6.283185307), or use the turns (revolutions)-to-radians page.
