What is the RCF ↔ RPM Centrifuge Calculator?
Convert between relative centrifugal force and RPM using rotor radius. ITS Research Solution keeps the interactive tool above the explanation so you can calculate first and then review the method used.
Formula or method
RCF = 1.118×10⁻⁵ × radius(cm) × RPM².
How to use this tool
Enter the requested values using consistent units, run the calculation and review the main result plus any supporting values. A larger rotor radius produces greater RCF at the same RPM.
Interpretation and limitations
Use the actual rotational radius specified for your rotor and sample position. Always check source data, units, rounding and discipline-specific requirements before using a result in assessed, published, regulated or high-stakes work.
Frequently asked questions
How is this result calculated?
