Stress

MPatodyn/cm²

Convert megapascals (stress) (MPa) to dynes per square centimetre (stress) (dyn/cm²).

Factor1 MPa = 1e+7 dyn/cm²

Converter

MPa

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

Result
1e+7dyn/cm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
dyn/cm² = MPa × 1e+7

Multiply any value in megapascals (stress) by 1e+7 to obtain the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress).

Worked example

Convert 1 MPa to dyn/cm².

  1. 01Start with 1 MPa.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1e+7 = 1e+7 dyn/cm².
Result1 MPa = 1e+7 dyn/cm²

FAQ

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