Centrifuge Calculator

Description of Centrifuge Calculator

This app calculates the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) for given Rotational Radius (r [mm]) and Rotational Speed (N [rpm]).
Calculated Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) is measured in times of "g", a dimensionless quantity.
r [mm] is the Rotational Radius in millimeters (Rotational Diameter could also be used instead of Rotational Radius!).
N [rpm] is the Rotational Speed in revolutions per minute.
This app also calculates the Rotational Speed (N [rpm]) for given Rotational Radius (r [mm]) (or Rotational Diameter) and Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF).
