Nomogram for converting
maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF, i.e., g-force) to RPM

 

To convert maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) to RPM: Determine centrifuge 's radius of rotation (in mm) by measuring distance from center of centrifuge spindle to bottom of device when inserted into rotor. Lay a ruler or draw a line from radius value in right-hand column value that corresponds to the device 's maximum rated g-force. Then read the maximum value from column at left.
