Revolutions per second to relative centrifugal force
Type a value in rps to get it in × g instantly.
34,210,800× g
That's 342× as strong as an ultracentrifuge run — nothing on our list beats it. Your sample effectively weighs 34,210,000 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 rps 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 rps = 34,210,800 × g.
The table below is for Microcentrifuge (8.5 cm).

Revolutions per second (rps)
The same speed per second rather than per minute.
Relative centrifugal force (× g)
How many times ordinary gravity the sample feels. The figure protocols quote.
