Erg/Square Centimetre

The erg per square centimetre (erg/cm²) is equivalent to the dyne per centimetre in CGS units and equals 10⁻³ J/m² (or 1 mN/m). It expresses surface energy per unit area, used interchangeably with surface tension in thermodynamics and surface science. 


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.
