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

Result
100000dyn/cm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
dyn/cm² = N/cm² × 100000

Multiply any value in newtons per square centimetre (stress) by 100000 to obtain the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress).

Worked example

Convert 1 N/cm² to dyn/cm².

  1. 01Start with 1 N/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 100000 = 100000 dyn/cm².
Result1 N/cm² = 100000 dyn/cm²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from N/cm² to dyn/cm²?
1 N/cm² equals 100000 dyn/cm². To convert, multiply the value in newtons per square centimetre (stress) by 100000.
How do I convert 1 N/cm² to dyn/cm²?
1 N/cm² = 100000 dyn/cm². For any value, multiply by 100000.
How do I convert dyn/cm² back to N/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-5. So 1 dyn/cm² = 1e-5 N/cm².
When would I need to convert newton per square centimetre (stress) to dyne per square centimetre (stress)?
Stress conversions between N/cm² 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).
