Stress
Patodyn/cm²
Convert pascals (stress) (Pa) to dynes per square centimetre (stress) (dyn/cm²).
Factor1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm²
Converter
Pa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
dyn/cm²
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
dyn/cm² = Pa × 10
Multiply any value in pascals (stress) by 10 to obtain the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress).
Worked example
Convert 1 Pa to dyn/cm².
- 01Start with 1 Pa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 10 = 10 dyn/cm².
Result1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm²

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