How to Convert Radian/second to Revolution/second

Converting Radian/second (rad/s) to Revolution/second (rev/s) is a core calculation in Angular Velocity, which measures the rotational speed and rate of angular displacement per unit of time. Because Revolution/second is a broader physical scale than Radian/second, converting from rad/s to rev/s condenses the numerical figure. It takes 6.283185 Radian/second to equal a single Revolution/second (1 rad/s = 0.159155 rev/s). To convert any quantity, multiply by 0.159155 (or divide by 6.283185).

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:

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 (k_source):1 rad/s = 1 radian per second (rad/s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 rev/s = 6.283185 radian per second (rad/s)

Step-by-step substitution for Radian/second → Revolution/second:V(rev/s) = V(rad/s) × ( 1 / 6.283185 ) = V(rad/s) × 0.159155

Mathematical FormulaValue in Revolution/second = Value in Radian/second × 0.15915494Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

To convert 120 Radian/second (rad/s) to Revolution/second (rev/s): multiply 120 by 0.159155 to get 19.098593 rev/s. At an industrial engineering scale, 10000 rad/s converts to 1591.549431 rev/s.

Inverse check: 1 rev/s = 6.283185 rad/s.
