What is RPM to kHz Converter?
This tool converts Revolutions per Minute (RPM) to Kilohertz (kHz) quickly and accurately. Whether you're working with electronics, audio, video, or mechanical systems, this converter provides instant results.
Understanding the Units
Revolutions per Minute (RPM): Standard unit for rotational speed. Used for engines, motors, fans, hard drives, and turntables.
Kilohertz (kHz): One thousand Hertz. Common in audio sampling rates, AM radio broadcasting, and ultrasonic applications.
Common Applications
- Automotive: Engine speed and tachometer readings
- Motors: Electric motor and fan specifications
- Manufacturing: Machine spindle and tool speeds
Privacy
All conversions happen in your browser. No data is stored or sent to any server.
How to Use
Converting RPM to kHz takes just seconds:
- Enter the RPM value in the first input field
- View the kHz result instantly in the second field
- Copy the result using the copy button if needed
Reverse Conversion
Need to convert kHz to RPM instead? Simply click the swap button (↔) to reverse the conversion direction, or type in the kHz field directly.
Practical Example
For example, 1000 RPM equals 0.0167 kHz.
