Unit Description
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.
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.
