Convert dyne/centimetre to millinewton/metre

Vice Versa: millinewton/metre to dyne/centimetre

Dyne/Centimetre

The dyne per centimetre (dyn/cm) is the CGS unit of surface tension, equal to 10⁻³ N/m or 1 mN/m. It was the standard unit in older scientific literature and is still used in ink, coating, and adhesive industries for wettability and adhesion testing.

Millinewton/Metre

The millinewton per metre (mN/m) is the most commonly used unit of surface tension in practical measurements. One mN/m equals 10⁻³ N/m or 1 dyn/cm. Water's surface tension is about 72.8 mN/m at 20°C. Used in wettability studies and surfactant characterisation.
