Turns (revolutions) to Radians (turn to rad)

Convert turns (revolutions) to radians: 1 turn = 6.28319 rad. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

Formula

1 turn = 6.28319 rad

radians = turns (revolutions) × 6.283185307 — reverse: turns (revolutions) = radians × 0.1591549431

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.

FAQ

How many radians are in one turn?

1 turn = 6.28319 rad. 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 turns (revolutions) to radians?

Multiply the value in turns (revolutions) by 6.283185307: radians = turns (revolutions) × 6.283185307. For example, 5 turn = 31.4159 rad.

How do I convert radians back to turns (revolutions)?

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.1591549431 (turns (revolutions) = radians × 0.1591549431), or use the radians-to-turns (revolutions) page.
