Understanding the Vinyl Record Size Chart 12-inch: Twelve inches is the standard diameter for full albums, generally holding up to 22 minutes per side. ... 7-inch: While not as common as 12-inch records, 7-inch presses feature one or two songs per side and run at 45 RPM.

The ones you're probably the most used to are 12-inch records, or long-plays (LPs for short.) Of course, different sizes also means different speeds. A larger record will spin around the platter fewer times per minute than a smaller record. An LP spins at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, or RPM.

It is printed on the label. As a rule of thumb you can assume that any vinyl is not 78 (that was shellac mostly, most recent record players do not even support 78 playback speed). 7? records are almost always 45 rpm, rarely 7? records that have more than one track on one side may be 33, these are probably called EP.

30 cm is about the size of an LP, 17cm is about the size of a vinyl single.

Vinyl records are divided into different categories of size and revolution speed. Initially there were long-playing (LP) records with a 25 cm (10") or 30 cm (12") diameter and a speed of 33 revolutions per minute, and SP and EP records with a 17 cm (7") diameter and a 45 rpm speed.

Seven inches (17 cm) A seven inches, or 7" in short, is a vinyl record measuring 7 inches in diameter, i.e. 17.78 centimetres. This format is usually used for the singles and more specifically for the 45 rpm. More rarely it is used for the max.

Generally speaking, all of the records that you would see down in a local record store (or a Barnes and Noble) are 33 RPM, 12-inch releases. There are some examples of 45 RPM records in the 12? form factor. They are often part of audiophile pressings or special releases.
