Learn how to use the RPM to Feet Per Minute Conversion Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the Diameter of the rotating object in feet in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Feet Per Minute (FPM).
  4. The result will be displayed in the FPM field.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and start over.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula FPM = RPM × π × D to convert RPM to FPM. This is useful in various applications such as calculating the linear speed of a rotating object like a wheel, gear, or shaft.

For example, if a wheel rotates at 100 RPM and has a diameter of 2 feet, the linear speed at the edge of the wheel would be:

100 RPM × π × 2 feet = 628.32 FPM
