Radians per second to centiradians per second converter

Convert radians per second (rad/s) to centiradians per second (crad/s). Calculate any value, follow the unit-factor steps and check a conversion table.

Updated · How we check
TRY YOUR OWN NUMBER Reverse conversion

Use a decimal point, such as 2.5. Enter a value in rad/s; the result is in crad/s.

Centiradians per second≈ 100crad/s

Formula

crad/s ≈ rad/s × 100

Worked example

Convert 1 rad/s to crad/s:

1 rad/s ≈ 100 crad/s

Multiply your rad/s value by the factor above. The calculator uses the full conversion factor before rounding the displayed answer.

What radians per second measure

Radians per second (rad/s) represent angular speed. One unit equals 10^0 rad/s. Angular speed measures change of angle per second, with radians as the angle unit.

Reading the result in centiradians per second

Centiradians per second (crad/s) represent angular speed. One unit equals 10^-2 rad/s. Angular speed measures change of angle per second, with radians as the angle unit.

Where this conversion helps

Compare rotational speeds represented in decimal radian scales. Revolutions per second differ by 2π. Linear speed additionally requires a radius.

How the scale changes

The input unit has a factor of 1e0 rad/s; the output unit has a factor of 1e-2 rad/s. Multiply the entered number by the input factor, then divide by the output factor. The physical quantity stays the same while its numerical representation changes.

Reading very small or large results

Scientific notation keeps very small and large values readable: 2.5e-6 means 0.0000025. The converter calculates with 50 significant digits internally and displays up to 10. Exact unit definitions do not remove uncertainty from the original measurement.
