Millinewtons per meter to dynes per centimeter
Type a value in mN/m to get it in dyn/cm instantly.
50dyn/cm
That's 1.56× as much tension as cooking oil, while pure water is 1.46× higher. That is about 68.68% of water’s surface tension.
Convert the other way: dyn/cm to mN/m
What it means
How strong is that skin?
Values are against air at 20 °C. Surface tension falls as temperature rises, and collapses when soap is added.
The math
How to convert mN/m to dyn/cm
To convert millinewtons per meter to dynes per centimeter, multiply by 1.
Example: 50 mN/m × 1 = 50 dyn/cm.
In the other direction, 1 dyn/cm = 1 mN/m.
