Gram-force per centimeter

One gram-force per centimeter is equal to 0.980665 newtons per meter.

History: Gram-force units appear in older metric engineering and laboratory references.

Current use: Used mainly for legacy surface tension tables and compatibility conversions.

Also written as gf/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.
