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.
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.
