Centrifugal acceleration, expressed as a multiple of gravitational acceleration, is a key scaling parameter for phase-separation performance in rotating equipment. It governs solid–liquid and liquid–liquid separations, cell harvesting, and produced-water treatment. Matching an RCF specification to bowl geometry fixes the required shaft speed.
