Formula
Formula
Pa = dyn/cm² × 0.1
Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 0.1 to obtain the value in pascals (stress).
Worked example
Convert 10 dyn/cm² to Pa.
- 01Start with 10 dyn/cm².
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.1 = 1 Pa.
Result10 dyn/cm² = 1 Pa

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