Dyne per centimeter

One dyne per centimeter is equal to 0.001 newtons per meter.

History: Dyne per centimeter is a traditional CGS unit for surface tension.

Current use: Used in older chemistry, fluid-property, and surface science references.

Also written as dyn/cm.

Newton per meter

Newton per meter measures force along a line per unit length at a fluid interface.

History: Surface tension is commonly expressed as force per length or equivalently energy per area.

Current use: Used in fluid mechanics, coatings, detergents, capillarity, materials science, and surface chemistry.

Also written as N/m.
