Feet Per Minute to RPM Calculator

Calculate RPM from FPM



Formula

The formula to calculate RPM from FPM is:

\[ RPM = \frac{FPM \times 12}{\pi \times D} \]

What is Feet Per Minute to RPM?

Feet Per Minute to RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) is a conversion used to measure the speed or velocity at which a mechanical component is operating. This is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing and engineering. For example, in a conveyor belt system, the speed of the belt may be measured in feet per minute, while the speed of the motor driving the belt is measured in RPM. The conversion between these two units allows for a better understanding and control of the system’s overall performance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the RPM:

\[ RPM = \frac{FPM \times 12}{\pi \times D} = \frac{600 \times 12}{3.14159 \times 10} = 229.18 \text{ RPM} \]

The Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) is 229.18 RPM.
