Surface Tension Converter

Convert surface tension units such as N/m, mN/m, dyne/cm, erg/cm2, poundal/in, and pound-force/in.

About this converter

Surface tension can be expressed as force per length or energy per area at a fluid interface. It includes SI, CGS, gravitational metric, and customary units.

The base unit for this converter is newton-per-meter, which lets us map each unit into one consistent formula layer before converting to the target unit.
