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. 


Newton/Metre

The newton per metre (N/m) is the SI unit of surface tension, measuring the force acting along the surface of a liquid per unit length. Water has a surface tension of approximately 0.0728 N/m at 20°C. Surface tension causes phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of soap bubbles.
