Radians per second to relative centrifugal force
Type a value in rad/s to get it in × g instantly.
That's 8.7× as strong as an ultracentrifuge run — nothing on our list beats it. Your sample effectively weighs 866,800 times its own weight.
What it means
How hard is that spin?
Radii are to the bottom of the tube, where the force is highest. A protocol written for the middle of the tube will give a slightly lower figure.
The math
How to convert rad/s to × g
Force grows with the square of the speed: RCF = 1.118 × 10⁻⁵ × radius in cm × rpm². The figures below use the rotor selected above.
Example: 10,000 rad/s = 866,759 × g.
The table below is for Microcentrifuge (8.5 cm).
