Angular Velocity Conversion Calculator

This tool supports various industries and applications, offering clear and accurate conversions for all your angular velocity needs.

Radians per Time Unit:

Radians per Second (rad/s): This is the base unit of angular velocity in the SI system. It measures the angle (in radians) that an object rotates per second. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe rotational speed.
Radians per Minute (rad/min): Measures the number of radians an object rotates in a minute. It is used when rotational speed is slower and seconds are too small a scale.
Radians per Hour (rad/hr): This unit measures how many radians an object rotates in one hour and is used for very slow rotational speeds.
Radians per Day (rad/d): Typically used in astronomy or any other context where slow, long-term rotations are measured. It indicates the number of radians an object rotates in one day.
Radians per Week (rad/wk): Even slower than radians per day, this unit is helpful in long-term measurements, such as tracking celestial rotations.

Degrees per Time Unit:

Degrees per Second (deg/s): This measures how many degrees an object rotates per second. It's commonly used in everyday applications and engineering when radians are too abstract, and degrees are more intuitive.
Degrees per Minute (deg/min): Used for slower rotations, this unit measures the angle at which an object rotates in degrees per minute. It is ideal for mechanical systems or slower rotational speeds.
Degrees per Hour (deg/hr): This unit measures slow rotations. It is often applied in fields like geophysics or astronomy, where rotation rates are slow.
Degrees per Day (deg/d): Similar to radians per day, this unit is useful for long-term rotation measurements, such as planetary rotations or machinery that slowly rotates.
Degrees per Week (deg/wk): It is used for even slower rotations, such as in celestial mechanics, where large-scale, slow-moving objects are considered.

Revolutions per Time Unit:

Revolutions per Second (rev/s): Measures how many revolutions an object makes in one second. It is often used for fast-moving rotating systems, like motors or turbines.
Revolutions per Minute (rev/min): Also known as RPM (revolutions per minute), this is one of the most common units for describing rotational speed. It is widely used in automotive, engineering, and mechanical applications.
Revolutions per Hour (rev/hr): Used for slower systems where rotations occur over a longer period. It is often found in industrial applications where processes are measured over hours.
Revolutions per Day (rev/d): A unit for slow-moving objects that complete a full revolution over a day. Often used in astronomical or long-term industrial processes.
Revolutions per Week (rev/wk): This unit describes the number of revolutions that occur over an entire week for extremely slow rotations. It is used in long-duration processes, such as machinery or celestial objects.

Turns per Time Unit:

Turns per Second (tr/s): A "turn" is equivalent to a complete revolution. Turns per second describe how many full rotations an object completes per second. Equivalent to revolutions per second.

Cycles per Time Unit:

Cycles per Second (cps): Also known as Hertz (Hz), cycles per second are used where rotational or repeating motion occurs in cycles. They are commonly used in electrical engineering and physics and are equivalent to revolutions per second.

Grads per Time Unit:

Grads per Second (grad/s): A grad is a unit of angle, where 100 grads equals a right angle (compared to 90 degrees). Grads per second measure how many grads an object rotates per second. They are sometimes used in surveying or European contexts.
Grads per Minute (grad/min): Measures slower rotations, indicating how many grads are covered in one minute.
Grads per Hour (grad/hr): Used for very slow angular velocities, indicating how many grads are covered in an hour. Applicable for long-term, slow processes.
Grads per Day (grad/d): Measures the angular displacement in grads over a day. Used in long-term processes, similar to degrees or radians per day.
Grads per Week (grad/wk): Similar to grads per day but over a week. It is used for slow rotational movements, like planetary rotations or other long-term mechanical processes.

These units are all used to measure angular velocity, or how fast something rotates or revolves around a point. Depending on the application, different units may be more practical or intuitive, such as revolutions per minute for car engines or radians per second in physics calculations.
