Formula
Formula
mbar = dyn/cm² × 0.001
Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre by 0.001 to obtain the value in millibars.
Worked example
Convert 1000 dyn/cm² to mbar.
- 01Start with 1000 dyn/cm².
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 mbar.
Result1000 dyn/cm² = 1 mbar

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to mbar?
1 dyn/cm² equals 0.001 mbar. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to mbar?
1 dyn/cm² = 0.001 mbar. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert mbar back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 mbar = 1000 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre to millibar?
Pressure conversions between dyn/cm² and mbar are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
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).
