Factor1 dyn/cm² = 1e-5 N/cm²

Converter

dyn/cm²

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1N/cm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
N/cm² = dyn/cm² × 1e-5

Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1e-5 to obtain the value in newtons per square centimetre (stress).

Worked example

Convert 100000 dyn/cm² to N/cm².

  1. 01Start with 100000 dyn/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 1e-5 = 1 N/cm².
Result100000 dyn/cm² = 1 N/cm²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to N/cm²?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1e-5 N/cm². To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1e-5.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to N/cm²?
1 dyn/cm² = 1e-5 N/cm². For any value, multiply by 1e-5.
How do I convert N/cm² back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100000. So 1 N/cm² = 100000 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre (stress) to newton per square centimetre (stress)?
Stress conversions between dyn/cm² and N/cm² are routine in mechanics-of-materials work: yield, ultimate and allowable-stress specification, Young's-modulus tables and structural-design code calculations. MPa and N/mm² dominate ISO and European datasheets, psi and ksi dominate US structural codes, and kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² appear in legacy JIS and heavy-engineering documentation. Stress is the same physical dimension as pressure but a different engineering quantity — this category is mechanics-of-materials, not process pressure.
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).
