sedimentation constant [‚sed·ə·mən′tā·shən ‚kän·stənt]

(physical chemistry)

A quantity used in studying the behavior of colloidal particles subject to forces, especially centrifugal forces; it is equal to 2r²(ρ-ρ′)/9η, whereris the particle's radius, ρ and ρ′ are reciprocals of partial specific volumes of particle and medium respectively, and η is the medium's viscosity.
