Conversion Formula
rad/min = nrad/s × 6.000000000e-8
About Nanoradians per second
The nanoradian per second (nrad/s) is 10⁻⁹ rad/s, accessible only to the most sensitive geodetic rotation sensors. The Wettzell G-ring laser gyroscope (4 m × 4 m Sagnac interferometer, Bavaria) measures Earth's rotation of ~72.92 µrad/s to a few nrad/s, resolving the Chandler wobble and polar motion. The proposed GINGER experiment targets the Lense-Thirring gravitomagnetic frame-dragging effect, predicted at ~39 nrad/s. State-of-the-art tactical-grade MEMS gyroscopes reach ~100 nrad/s/√Hz noise floors. 1 nrad/s = 10⁻⁹ rad/s ≈ 7.46 × 10⁻⁷ rpm.
About Radians per minute
The radian per minute (rad/min) equals 1/60 rad/s ≈ 0.01667 rad/s, convenient for wind turbine rotors and slow industrial drives. Large direct-drive offshore wind turbines (14-15 MW, e.g. Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222, Vestas V236) rotate at 4-15 rad/min (0.064-0.24 rpm). Pharmaceutical coating pans rotate at 0.5-10 rad/min; large CNC rotary tables for turbine disc machining run at 0.2-8 rad/min. VLT 8.2 m telescope tracks stars at the sidereal rate π/720 ≈ 0.00436 rad/min. 1 rad/min = 1/60 rad/s ≈ 0.1592 rpm.
