RPM means Revolutions per minute... "Varv per minut" would be a Swedish translation. (See you speak Swedish).
 
Although it's been awhile, doesn't i.e. stand for iam est (not id est) and doesn't e.g. stand for examplia gratia (not exampli gratiae, meaning a pleasing example or for the sake of an example)?
