Calculate RCF



Formula

To calculate the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF):

RCF=(RPM)2×1.118×105×r

Where:

What is Relative Centrifugal Force?

Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) is a measure of the force exerted on a sample in a centrifuge, relative to the force of gravity. It is commonly used in laboratory settings to describe the intensity of the centrifugal force applied to samples during centrifugation.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

RCF=(5000)2×1.118×105×0.127.95 g-force

The Relative Centrifugal Force is approximately 27.95 g-force.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

RCF=(10000)2×1.118×105×0.2223.60 g-force

The Relative Centrifugal Force is approximately 223.60 g-force.
