Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min) is a measure of the frequency of rotation, specifically the number of rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. It is used as a measure of rotational speed of a mechanical component. In the French language, tr/mn (フランス語:tours par minute) is the common abbreviation. The German language uses the abbreviation U/min or u/min (ドイツ語:Umdrehungen pro Minute). == International System of Units == According 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 annotation 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 basic SI derived unit is s−1 or Hz. When measuring angular speed, the unit radians per second is used. : : : Here the sign ↔ (correspondent) is used instead of = (equal). Formally, hertz (Hz) and radian per second (rad/s) are two different names for the same SI unit, s−1. However, they are used for two different but proportional ISQ quantities: frequency and angular frequency (angular speed, magnitude of angular velocity). The conversion between a frequency ''f'' (measured in hertz) and an angular velocity ''ω'' (measured in radians per second) are: : Thus a disc rotating at 60 rpm is said to be rotating at either 2π rad/s or 1 Hz, where the former measures the angular velocity and the latter reflects the number of revolutions per second. If the non-SI unit rpm is considered a unit of frequency, then . If it instead is considered a unit of angular velocity and the word "revolution" is considered to mean 2π radians, then . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revolutions per minute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
