Svedbergs to femtoseconds
Type a value in S to get it in fs instantly.
7,000fs
That's about the same as a bacterial ribosome. At 100,000 g it would settle about 24.71 mm an hour.
What it means
How fast does it settle?
Svedberg values depend on shape as well as mass, which is why they do not add: the 30S and 50S subunits make a 70S ribosome.
The math
How to convert S to fs
To convert svedbergs to femtoseconds, multiply by 100.
Example: 70 S × 100 = 7,000 fs.
In the other direction, 1 fs = 0.01 S.
