Picoseconds to svedbergs

Type a value in ps to get it in S instantly.

700S

That's 3.5× as large as a small virus — nothing on our list beats it. At 100,000 g it would settle about 247.1 mm an hour.

What it means

How fast does it settle?

Svedberg values depend on shape as well as mass, which is why they do not add: the 30S and 50S subunits make a 70S ribosome.

The math

How to convert ps to S

To convert picoseconds to svedbergs, multiply by 10.

Example: 70 ps × 10 = 700 S.

In the other direction, 1 S = 0.1 ps.
