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.

Erg per square centimeter

One erg per square centimeter is equal to 0.001 newtons per meter.

History: Energy-per-area and force-per-length are equivalent ways to express surface tension.

Current use: Used for surface energy references and CGS compatibility.

Also written as erg/cm^2.
