Centrifuge & RCF Calculator

Bi-directional conversion between Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) and Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF / ×g).

Centrifugation Parameters
Common Rotor Presets:
Calculated Centrifugal Output
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF)
1,006×g

At 3,000 RPM with a 10.0 cm rotor radius.

Formula: RCF = 1.118 × 10⁻⁵ × r × (RPM)²
where r is the radial distance from the centre of rotation in centimetres (cm).
