centrifugeR (version 0.1.4)

rotorSpeed: Calculate RPM/RCF

Description

rotorSpeed converts rotational speed to relative centrifuge force and vice versa.

Usage

rotorSpeed(radius, value, type)

Arguments

radius

a numeric, the centrifugal radius in millimeters.

value

a numeric, the rotational speed in revolutions per minute or the relative centrifuge force in <U+00D7> g.

type

the type of the above-mentioned value, "rpm" for rotational speed or "rcf" for relative centrifuge force.

Value

rotorSpeed returns a numeric that is the rotational speed in revolutions per minute or the relative centrifuge force in <U+00D7> g.
