Formula
Formula
rpm = rps × 60
Multiply any value in revolutions per second by 60 to obtain the value in revolutions per minute.
Worked example
Convert 60 rps to rpm.
- 01Start with 60 rps.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 60 × 60 = 3600 rpm.
Result60 rps = 3600 rpm

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from rps to rpm?
1 rps equals 60 rpm. To convert, multiply the value in revolutions per second by 60.
How do I convert 1 rps to rpm?
1 rps = 60 rpm. For any value, multiply by 60.
How do I convert rpm back to rps?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01666667. So 1 rpm = 0.0166667 rps.
When would I need to convert revolution per second to revolution per minute?
Frequency conversions between rps and rpm 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).
