Factor1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm²
Converter
Pa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
dyn/cm²
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
dyn/cm² = Pa × 10
Multiply any value in pascals by 10 to obtain the value in dynes per square centimetre.
Worked example
Convert 100 Pa to dyn/cm².
- 01Start with 100 Pa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 10 = 1000 dyn/cm².
Result100 Pa = 1000 dyn/cm²

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from Pa to dyn/cm²?
1 Pa equals 10 dyn/cm². To convert, multiply the value in pascals by 10.
How do I convert 1 Pa to dyn/cm²?
1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm². For any value, multiply by 10.
How do I convert dyn/cm² back to Pa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1. So 1 dyn/cm² = 0.1 Pa.
When would I need to convert pascal to dyne per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between Pa and dyn/cm² 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).
