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 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 Millihertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = mHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1 mHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.001 rps
Convert 10 Millihertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = mHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 10 mHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 rps
Convert 100 Millihertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = mHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 100 mHz ÷ 1,000 = 0.1 rps
Convert 1,000 Millihertz to Revolutions per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 mHz = 0.001 rps
- Conversion Formula: rps = mHz ÷ 1,000
- Calculation: 1,000 mHz ÷ 1,000 = 1 rps
