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. 


Gram-Force/Centimetre

The gram-force per centimetre (gf/cm) is a gravitational unit of surface tension used in older literature and CGS-based measurements. One gf/cm equals approximately 9.807×10⁻³ N/m. It expresses surface tension in terms of gravitational force per unit length.
