To convert a measurement in hertz to a measurement in revolutions per minute, multiply the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 60 revolutions per minute/hertz.

Since one hertz is equal to 60 revolutions per minute, you can use this simple formula to convert:

revolutions per minute = hertz × 60

The frequency in revolutions per minute is equal to the frequency in hertz multiplied by 60.

How Many Revolutions per Minute Are in a Hertz?

There are 60 revolutions per minute in a hertz, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 Hz = 60 RPM

Hertz and revolutions per minute are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
