How to Convert Degree/minute to Revolution/hour

Converting Degree/minute (°/min) to Revolution/hour (rev/h) is a core calculation in Angular Velocity, which measures the rotational speed and rate of angular displacement per unit of time. Because Revolution/hour is a broader physical scale than Degree/minute, converting from °/min to rev/h condenses the numerical figure. It takes 6 Degree/minute to equal a single Revolution/hour (1 °/min = 0.166667 rev/h). To convert any quantity, multiply by 0.166667 (or divide by 6).

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (radian per second (rad/s)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 °/min = 0.000290888 radian per second (rad/s)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 rev/h = 0.00174533 radian per second (rad/s)
Step-by-step substitution for Degree/minute → Revolution/hour:V(rev/h) = V(°/min) × ( 0.000290888 / 0.00174533 ) = V(°/min) × 0.166667
Mathematical FormulaValue in Revolution/hour = Value in Degree/minute × 0.16666667Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 250 °/min, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 41.666667 rev/h. At larger operational scale, 240 Degree/minute corresponds to 40 rev/h.

Inverse check: 1 rev/h = 6 °/min.
