Formula

Formula
rps = rph × 0.0002777778

Multiply any value in revolutions per hour by 0.0002777778 to obtain the value in revolutions per second.

Worked example

Convert 3600 rph to rps.

  1. 01Start with 3600 rph.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 3600 × 0.0002777778 = 1 rps.
Result3600 rph = 1 rps

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from rph to rps?
1 rph equals 0.0002777778 rps. To convert, multiply the value in revolutions per hour by 0.0002777778.
How do I convert 1 rph to rps?
1 rph = 0.000277778 rps. For any value, multiply by 0.0002777778.
How do I convert rps back to rph?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3600. So 1 rps = 3600 rph.
When would I need to convert revolution per hour to revolution per second?
Frequency conversions between rph and rps are needed in signal and RF engineering, motor and turbomachinery rotational-speed work, vibration and pulse-rate analysis, and control-loop sample-rate specification. Hz dominates electronics and instrumentation; kHz, MHz and GHz cover audio through microwave; rpm and rps dominate mechanical rotational equipment; cycles per minute, second and hour cover slow industrial cyclic processes. Angular frequency (rad/s) and time-period (Hz ↔ seconds) conversions are NOT included — they require either a 2π factor or a reciprocal relationship.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
