Unit Description
Kilohertz (kHz)
Definition
A kilohertz (kHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousand hertz (10³ Hz). It represents moderate frequencies commonly found in audio applications, low-frequency radio, and various electronic systems.
History
The kilohertz became important with the development of audio technology and early radio communications. It provided a convenient scale for describing audio frequencies and low-frequency radio waves, becoming essential in the development of broadcasting and audio equipment.
Current Use
Kilohertz is extensively used in audio engineering, AM radio broadcasting, audio equipment specifications, and low-frequency electronic applications. It's standard for describing audio frequency ranges, AM radio frequencies, and various audio processing equipment.
Cycles per Minute (cpm)
Definition
Cycles per minute (cpm) is a unit of frequency representing the number of complete cycles of a periodic phenomenon occurring in one minute. It's used for moderate-frequency periodic processes and mechanical systems.
History
Cycles per minute developed for describing periodic processes that occur at moderate rates, particularly in mechanical systems, industrial processes, and biological applications where minute-based measurements were more practical than second-based measurements.
Current Use
CPM is used in industrial process control, mechanical systems, biological monitoring, and applications where periodic events occur at moderate rates. It's found in process equipment specifications, biological rhythm measurements, and industrial automation systems.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilohertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 60,000 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = kHz × 60,000
- Calculation: 1 kHz × 60,000 = 60,000 cpm
Convert 10 Kilohertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 60,000 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = kHz × 60,000
- Calculation: 10 kHz × 60,000 = 600,000 cpm
Convert 100 Kilohertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 60,000 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = kHz × 60,000
- Calculation: 100 kHz × 60,000 = 6e+6 cpm
Convert 1,000 Kilohertz to Cycles per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 kHz = 60,000 cpm
- Conversion Formula: cpm = kHz × 60,000
- Calculation: 1,000 kHz × 60,000 = 6e+7 cpm
