RPM to Feet Per Minute Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Feet Per Minute (FPM) is:

\[ FPM = RPM \cdot \text{Diameter} \cdot \pi \]

Where:

\( FPM \) is the linear velocity in feet per minute
\( RPM \) is the rotational speed in revolutions per minute
\( \text{Diameter} \) is the diameter of the wheel or rotor in feet
\( \pi \) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159

What is RPM?

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, which is a unit of rotational speed that measures the number of full rotations completed in one minute around a fixed axis. It is a common unit used in various applications such as automotive engines, industrial machinery, and consumer electronics.
