Convert surface tension units including newtons per meter, millinewtons per meter, dynes per centimeter, pounds-force per inch, pounds-force per foot, and more.
Newtons per meter to millinewtons per meter:
1 N/m = 1,000 mN/m
Millinewtons per meter to newtons per meter:
1 mN/m = 0.001 N/m
Dynes per centimeter to newtons per meter:
1 dyn/cm = 0.001 N/m
Newtons per meter to dynes per centimeter:
1 N/m = 1,000 dyn/cm
Surface tension conversions are useful for fluids, coatings, inks, paints, detergents, droplets, capillary action, lab testing, material science, chemistry, and fluid mechanics.
Use this converter when comparing SI, CGS, and U.S. customary surface tension units.
Your result shows the entered surface tension converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering, lab, and fluid calculations, make sure the surface tension unit matches your test method, material data sheet, fluid chart, or formula.
Surface tension is the force per unit length acting along the surface of a liquid.
The SI unit of surface tension is newtons per meter, abbreviated as N/m.
Yes. 1 millinewton per meter equals 1 dyne per centimeter.
One newton per meter equals 1,000 dynes per centimeter.
This converter is designed for surface tension magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
