1 revolution =2*3.1416 (pi) radian.
So, a revolution = pi radias i.e; 3.1416 radian

One revolution is 360 degrees which is 2 pie radians or 6.28 radians. multiply 6.28 x number of revlutions to get radians or to be more accurate multiply 2 [pie] radians by the numbers of revolutions. 6.28 x 16 = 100.48 radians or more accurate 2 x [pie] x 16 = 32 [ pie] radians. [pie] = 3.1416 rounded off to four decimal places.

There's a problem, probably a mistype, in Yves M's answer.
One revolution = one circumference = 2*pi*radius. A radian is an arc with length = the radius.
So one revolution = 2*pi*radians
So 1/2 revolution = pi*radians
