7×10¹⁴S

That's 3,500,000,000,000× as large as a small virus — nothing on our list beats it. At 100,000 g it would settle about 2.471×10¹⁴ 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 s to S

To convert seconds to svedbergs, multiply by 1×10¹³.

Example: 70 s × 1×10¹³ = 7×10¹⁴ S.

In the other direction, 1 S = 1×10⁻¹³ s.
