Formula
Formula
pdl = dyn × 7.233014e-5
Multiply any value in dynes by 7.233014e-5 to obtain the value in poundals.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 dyn to pdl.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 dyn.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 7.233014e-5 = 72.3301 pdl.
Result1.00000e+6 dyn = 72.3301 pdl

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from dyn to pdl?
1 dyn equals 7.233014e-5 pdl. To convert, multiply the value in dynes by 7.233014e-5.
How do I convert 1 dyn to pdl?
1 dyn = 7.23301e-5 pdl. For any value, multiply by 7.233014e-5.
How do I convert pdl back to dyn?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 13825.5. So 1 pdl = 13825.5 dyn.
When would I need to convert dyne to poundal?
Force conversions between dyn and pdl are needed in structural analysis, mechanical equipment design, lifting and rigging calculations, and load specification. Newtons and kilonewtons are standard in SI-based structural codes; pound-force and kips are common in US codes and vendor datasheets.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
