Unit Description
Microhertz (µHz)
Definition
A microhertz (µHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one millionth of a hertz (10⁻⁶ Hz). It represents extremely low frequencies found in astronomical phenomena, very slow biological processes, and precision scientific measurements.
History
The microhertz became important with advanced astronomical observations and precision scientific measurements. It was particularly crucial for describing stellar oscillations, planetary motions, and other astronomical phenomena with very long periods.
Current Use
Microhertz is used in astronomy for stellar seismology, precision timing systems, long-term biological studies, and advanced scientific research. It's essential for measuring astronomical oscillations, very slow biological rhythms, and ultra-precision frequency standards.
Revolutions per Second (rps)
Definition
Revolutions per second (rps) is a unit of rotational frequency representing the number of complete rotations around a fixed axis in one second. It provides a more direct relationship to the hertz unit for rotational measurements.
History
RPS developed as a scientific alternative to RPM, providing a direct conversion to hertz (1 rps = 1 Hz for rotational motion). It became important in scientific and engineering applications where SI units were preferred over traditional mechanical units.
Current Use
RPS is used in scientific applications, high-speed machinery, precision instruments, and engineering calculations where direct conversion to hertz is beneficial. It's found in centrifuge specifications, high-speed motor ratings, and scientific equipment.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Microhertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µHz = 0.000001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = µHz ÷ 1e+6
- Calculation: 1 µHz ÷ 1e+6 = 0.000001 rps
Convert 10 Microhertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µHz = 0.000001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = µHz ÷ 1e+6
- Calculation: 10 µHz ÷ 1e+6 = 0.00001 rps
Convert 100 Microhertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µHz = 0.000001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = µHz ÷ 1e+6
- Calculation: 100 µHz ÷ 1e+6 = 0.0001 rps
Convert 1,000 Microhertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µHz = 0.000001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = µHz ÷ 1e+6
- Calculation: 1,000 µHz ÷ 1e+6 = 0.001 rps
