RPM to Speed Converter

RPM to Speed Converter

Convert RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) to vehicle speed based on tire size and gear ratio.





Enter the details to calculate speed.

The RPM to Speed Converter is a tool designed to convert the engine’s RPM (Revolutions per Minute) to the vehicle’s speed in kilometers per hour (km/h). The conversion depends on the tire diameter and the vehicle’s gear ratio.

  • Inputs:

    • RPM: The engine RPM (Revolutions Per Minute).
    • Tire Diameter: The diameter of the tires in inches.
    • Gear Ratio: The vehicle’s gear ratio (the ratio between the engine RPM and the wheel RPM).
  • Output:

    • The vehicle speed is calculated and displayed in kilometers per hour (km/h).

How to Use the RPM to Speed Converter:

  1. Enter RPM:

    • Input the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) of your engine into the RPM field.
  2. Enter Tire Diameter:

    • Input the tire diameter in inches (e.g., 16 inches, 18 inches).
  3. Enter Gear Ratio:

    • Input the gear ratio (typically a number like 3.5 or 4.0, representing the ratio between the engine speed and wheel speed).
  4. Calculate Speed:

    • Click the Calculate Speed button to get the speed in km/h based on the RPM, tire diameter, and gear ratio.
  5. Download the Calculation (Optional):

    • Click the Download Calculation (PDF) button to save the result as a text file for future reference.

Key Formula:

  • The formula used to calculate the speed is: Speed (km/h)=(RPM×Tire CircumferenceGear Ratio)×601000\text{Speed (km/h)} = \left( \frac{\text{RPM} \times \text{Tire Circumference}}{\text{Gear Ratio}} \right) \times \frac{60}{1000} where Tire Circumference is calculated using the formula: Tire Circumference=π×Tire Diameter (in meters)\text{Tire Circumference} = \pi \times \text{Tire Diameter (in meters)}

Features:

Instant Speed Calculation: Get the vehicle’s speed in km/h with just a few inputs.
Flexible Inputs: Enter RPM, tire diameter (in inches), and gear ratio.
Downloadable Report: Save your calculation results as a text file for later use.

This tool is perfect for automotive enthusiasts, mechanics, and engineers who need to calculate the speed of a vehicle based on RPM, tire size, and gear ratio.
