Centrifuge RCF ↔ RPM Calculator

Convert centrifuge speed between RPM and relative centrifugal force (× g) using the rotor radius in centimeters.

Calculations run locally. Inputs are not saved or sent to analytics.

Worked example

At a 10 cm radius, 10,000 RPM corresponds to approximately 11,180 × g.

Assumptions and limitations

This is a unit conversion, not a recommended centrifuge setting. It does not check rotor, tube, adapter, balance, temperature, or sample limits. Follow the equipment manual and validated protocol.

For educational and informational use. Not for patient care or safety-critical decisions. Check the relevant protocol and qualified guidance.

Reference and calculation checks
