Revolutions per infinitesimal (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or with the notation min⁻ⁱ) is the number of turns in one infinitesimal. Information technology is a unit of rotational speed or the frequency of rotation effectually a stock-still axis.

International System of Units [edit]

Co-ordinate to the International System of Units (SI), rpm is not a unit. This is because the word revolution is a semantic annotation rather than a unit. The note is instead done as a subscript of the formula sign if needed. Because of the measured physical quantity, the formula sign has to be $f$ for (rotational) frequency and $ω$ or $Ω$ for angular velocity. The corresponding bones SI derived unit is s^−one or Hz. When measuring angular speed, the unit radians per second is used.

{\brainstorm{aligned}ane~&{\text{rad/s}}&&=&{\frac {1}{two\pi }}~&{\text{Hz}}&&=&{\frac {60}{2\pi }}~&{\text{rpm}}\\[9pt]2\pi ~&{\text{rad/due south}}&&=&1~&{\text{Hz}}&&=&60~&{\text{rpm}}\\{\frac {two\pi }{60}}~&{\text{rad/s}}&&=&{\frac {1}{60}}~&{\text{Hz}}&&=&ane~&{\text{rpm}}\end{aligned}}

Although they have the same dimensions (s⁻¹), hertz (Hz) and radian per second (rad/south) are ii different units, representing 2 different but proportional ISQ quantities: frequency and angular frequency (athwart speed, magnitude of angular velocity). The conversions between a frequency $f$ (measured in hertz) and an athwart velocity $ω$ (measured in radians per second) are:

\omega =ii\pi f\,,\qquad f={\frac {\omega }{two\pi }}\,.

Thus a disc rotating at lx rpm is said to exist rotating at either two $π$ rad/south or 1 Hz, where the former measures the athwart velocity and the latter reflects the number of revolutions per second.

If the non-SI unit rpm is considered a unit of frequency, then one rpm = 1 / 60 Hz. If it instead is considered a unit of measurement of angular velocity and the word "revolution" is considered to mean two $π$ radians, then 1 rpm = two $π$ / 60 rad/south.

Examples [edit]

On many kinds of disc recording media, the rotational speed of the medium under the read head is a standard given in rpm. Phonograph (gramophone) records, for instance, typically rotate steadily at 16+ 2⁄iii , 33+ 1⁄iii , 45 or 78 rpm (0.28, 0.55, 0.75, or one.3 Hz respectively).
Modernistic air turbine dental drills can rotate at up to 800,000 rpm (13.three kHz).
The 2nd mitt of a conventional analog clock rotates at ane rpm.
Audio CD players read their discs at a precise, abiding rate (four.3218 Mbit/s of raw physical data for 1.4112 Mbit/southward (176.four kB/southward) of usable audio data) and thus must vary the disc'south rotational speed from 8 Hz (480 rpm) when reading at the innermost edge, to 3.5 Hz (210 rpm) at the outer border.^[1]
DVD players likewise ordinarily read discs at a constant linear rate. The disc's rotational speed varies from 25.v Hz (1530 rpm) when reading at the innermost edge, to 10.v Hz (630 rpm) at the outer border.^[1]
A washing auto's drum may rotate at 500 to 2,000 rpm (8–33 Hz) during the spin cycles.
A baseball thrown by a Major League Baseball bullpen can rotate at over 2,500 rpm (41.7 Hz); faster rotation yields more move on breaking balls.^[ii]
A ability generation turbine (with a two-pole alternator) rotates at 3000 rpm (fifty Hz) or 3600 rpm (60 Hz), depending on country – see Air-conditioning power plugs and sockets.
Modern auto engines are typically operated effectually 2,000–three,000 rpm (33–fifty Hz) when cruising, with a minimum (idle) speed around 750–900 rpm (12.5–fifteen Hz), and an upper limit anywhere from 4500 to ten,000 rpm (75–166 Hz) for a road car, very rarely reaching upwards to 12,000 rpm for certain cars (such equally the GMA T.50), or 20,000 rpm for racing engines such every bit those in Formula one cars (during the 2006 season, with the ii.4 50 Northward/A V8 engine configuration; express to 15,000 rpm, with the one.6 L V6 turbo-hybrid engine configuration).^[iii] The exhaust note of V8, V10, and V12 F1 cars has a much higher pitch than an I4 engine, because each of the cylinders of a 4-stroke engine fires one time for every ii revolutions of the crankshaft. Thus an eight-cylinder engine turning 300 times per second will have an frazzle notation of 1,200 Hz.
A piston aircraft engine typically rotates at a rate between 2,000 and three,000 rpm (thirty–fifty Hz).
Computer hard drives typically rotate at 5,400 or 7,200 rpm (90 or 120 Hz), the most common speeds for the ATA or SATA-based drives in consumer models. High-performance drives (used in fileservers and enthusiast-gaming PCs) rotate at 10,000 or 15,000 rpm (160 or 250 Hz), usually with higher-level SATA, SCSI or Fibre Channel interfaces and smaller platters to allow these higher speeds, the reduction in storage capacity and ultimate outer-border speed paying off in much quicker access time and average transfer speed thank you to the high spin rate. Until recently, lower-end and power-efficient laptop drives could exist constitute with four,200 or even iii,600 rpm spindle speeds (70 and 60 Hz), just these have fallen out of favour due to their lower performance, improvements in energy efficiency in faster models and the takeup of solid-land drives for use in slimline and ultraportable laptops. Similar to CD and DVD media, the amount of information that tin be stored or read for each turn of the disc is greater at the outer edge than about the spindle; however, hard drives keep a constant rotational speed so the constructive data rate is faster at the edge (conventionally, the "showtime" of the disc, contrary to a CD or DVD).
Floppy disc drives typically ran at a constant 300 or occasionally 360 rpm (a relatively slow v or half-dozen Hz) with a constant per-revolution data density, which was simple and inexpensive to implement, though inefficient. Some designs such every bit those used with older Apple computers (Lisa, early Macintosh, later Two's) were more complex and used variable rotational speeds and per-rails storage density (at a constant read/record rate) to store more than data per disc; for example, between 394 rpm (with 12 sectors per track) and 590 rpm (eight sectors) with Mac's 800 KB double-density drive at a abiding 39.four KB/s (max) – versus 300 rpm, 720 KB and 23 KB/s (max) for double-density drives in other machines.^[iv]

Gas turbine engines rotate at tens of thousands of rpm. JetCat model aircraft turbines are capable of over 100,000 rpm (1,700 Hz) with the fastest reaching 165,000 rpm (2,750 Hz).^[half-dozen]
A Flywheel free energy storage system works at 60,000–200,000 rpm (1–3 kHz) range using a passively magnetic levitated flywheel in a vacuum.^[seven] The choice of the flywheel material is not the near dumbo, just the 1 that pulverises the most safely, at surface speeds most 7 times the speed of sound.

A millisecond pulsar can accept near l,000 rpm (833 Hz).
A turbocharger can reach 290,000 rpm (four.8 kHz), while 80,000–200,000 rpm (i–iii kHz) is mutual.
A supercharger can spin at speeds between or every bit high as l,000-65,000 rpm (833–1083 Hz)
Molecular microbiology – molecular engines. The rotation rates of bacterial flagella have been measured to be 10,200 rpm (170 Hz) for Salmonella typhimurium, 16,200 rpm (270 Hz) for Escherichia coli, and upwardly to 102,000 rpm (one,700 Hz) for polar flagellum of Vibrio alginolyticus, allowing the latter organism to move in false natural conditions at a maximum speed of 540 mm/h.^[8]
