Unit Description
Millihertz (mHz)
Definition
A millihertz (mHz) is a unit of frequency equal to one thousandth of a hertz (0.001 Hz). It represents very low frequencies found in extremely slow oscillations, geological processes, and some biological rhythms.
History
The millihertz became necessary for describing extremely slow periodic phenomena in scientific research. It was particularly important in geophysics, astronomy, and biological studies where natural cycles occur over very long time periods.
Current Use
Millihertz is used in geophysics for seismic wave analysis, astronomy for stellar oscillations, biological research for circadian rhythms, and precision timing applications. It's essential for measuring very slow natural cycles and long-period oscillations.
Revolutions per Minute (rpm)
Definition
Revolutions per minute (rpm) is a unit of rotational frequency representing the number of complete rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. It's one of the most common units for measuring rotational speed in mechanical systems.
History
RPM became standard with the development of mechanical machinery during the Industrial Revolution. It provided an intuitive way to measure and specify rotational speeds for engines, motors, and machinery, becoming universally adopted in mechanical engineering.
Current Use
RPM is extensively used in automotive engines, electric motors, machinery, and mechanical systems. It's standard for engine specifications, motor ratings, turntable speeds, and virtually all rotating mechanical equipment specifications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Millihertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.06 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = mHz ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1 mHz ÷ 16.6667 = 0.06 rpm
Convert 10 Millihertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.06 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = mHz ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 10 mHz ÷ 16.6667 = 0.6 rpm
Convert 100 Millihertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.06 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = mHz ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 100 mHz ÷ 16.6667 = 6 rpm
Convert 1,000 Millihertz to Revolutions per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.06 rpm
- Conversion Formula: rpm = mHz ÷ 16.6667
- Calculation: 1,000 mHz ÷ 16.6667 = 60 rpm
