Formula

Formula
psi = dyn/cm² × 1.450377e-5

Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1.450377e-5 to obtain the value in pounds-force per square inch (stress).

Worked example

Convert 100000 dyn/cm² to psi.

  1. 01Start with 100000 dyn/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 1.450377e-5 = 1.45038 psi.
Result100000 dyn/cm² = 1.45038 psi

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to psi?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1.450377e-5 psi. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 1.450377e-5.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to psi?
1 dyn/cm² = 1.45038e-5 psi. For any value, multiply by 1.450377e-5.
How do I convert psi back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 68947.57. So 1 psi = 68947.6 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre (stress) to pound-force per square inch (stress)?
Stress conversions between dyn/cm² and psi 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).
