The conversion of 1000 rpm to radians per second results in approximately 104.72 rad/sec.
Since 1 revolution per minute (rpm) equals 2π radians per 60 seconds, to convert rpm to radians per second, multiply rpm by 2π and divide by 60. For 1000 rpm, 1000 × 2π / 60 gives about 104.72 radians/sec.
Conversion Result
1000 rpm is equal to approximately 104.72 rad/sec.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert rpm to radians per second is: radians/sec = rpm × 2π / 60. This works because one revolution equals 2π radians, and there are 60 seconds in a minute, so multiplying rpm by 2π and dividing by 60 converts revolutions per minute to radians per second. For example, at 1000 rpm, the calculation is 1000 × 2π / 60 = approximately 104.72 rad/sec.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1500 rpm to rad/sec:
- Multiply 1500 by 2π: 1500 × 6.2832 ≈ 9424.78
- Divide by 60: 9424.78 / 60 ≈ 157.08 rad/sec
- Convert 500 rpm to rad/sec:
- 500 × 2π ≈ 3141.59
- Divide by 60: 3141.59 / 60 ≈ 52.36 rad/sec
- Convert 250 rpm to rad/sec:
- 250 × 2π ≈ 1570.80
- Divide by 60: 1570.80 / 60 ≈ 26.18 rad/sec
- Convert 200 rpm to rad/sec:
- 200 × 2π ≈ 1256.64
- Divide by 60: 1256.64 / 60 ≈ 20.94 rad/sec

Conversion Definitions
rpm
Revolutions per minute (rpm) measures how many full turns an object makes in one minute, reflecting rotational speed. It is used in engines, motors, and machinery to indicate how fast they spin, with higher values indicating faster rotation.
rad
Rad, short for radians, is a unit of angular measurement representing the angle created when an arc length equals the radius of a circle. It’s used in mathematics and physics to measure angles, with 2π radians equaling a full circle.
Conversion FAQs
How do I convert rpm to radians per second manually?
Multiply rpm by 2π to get radians per minute, then divide by 60 to get radians per second. For example, 1000 rpm: 1000 × 2π / 60 ≈ 104.72 rad/sec. This formula accounts for full rotations and the time conversion from minutes to seconds.
Why does the conversion involve 2π?
Because one full revolution corresponds to 2π radians. When converting rpm to radians/sec, multiplying by 2π converts revolutions into radians, allowing angular velocity to be expressed in radians per second accurately.
Can I use this conversion for high-speed rotating objects?
Yes, but ensure the rpm value is accurate and the conversion formula is correctly applied. For very high speeds, be mindful of measurement limits and consider units, but the formula remains valid across a wide range of rotation speeds.
