Formula
N/mm² = dyn/cm² × 1e-7
Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1e-7 to obtain the value in newtons per square millimetre (stress).
Worked example
Convert 1e+7 dyn/cm² to N/mm².
- 01Start with 1e+7 dyn/cm².
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1e+7 × 1e-7 = 1 N/mm².
Result1e+7 dyn/cm² = 1 N/mm²

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to N/mm²?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1e-7 N/mm². To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1e-7.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to N/mm²?
1 dyn/cm² = 1e-7 N/mm². For any value, multiply by 1e-7.
How do I convert N/mm² back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e+7. So 1 N/mm² = 1e+7 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre (stress) to newton per square millimetre (stress)?
Stress conversions between dyn/cm² and N/mm² 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).
