dyn/cm² – Dyne per Square Centimetre Pressure Unit

Dyne per Square Centimeter is one of the smallest pressure units and is derived from the CGS unit for force where 1 dyne equals 1 gram accelerated by 1 centimeter per second per second. 1 Dyne per Square Centimetre equals 0.1 pascals.

The dyn/cm^2 is mainly used for pressures associated with the measurement of shear stress and is strongly linked to the measurement of surface tension where dyne/cm is a commonly used unit.

You will find conversion values for 1 dyn/cm2 into other pressure units in the table below.

Derivation

The calculation below shows how the pressure unit Dyne per Square Centimetre (dyn/cm²) is derived from SI Units.

Formula

  • Pressure = Force / Area
  • Force = Mass x Acceleration
  • Acceleration = Distance / (Time x Time)

SI Units

  • Mass: kilogram (kg)
  • Length: metre (m)
  • Time: second (s)
  • Force: newton (N)
  • Pressure: pascal (Pa)

Input Values

  • 1 gram = 0.001 kg
  • 1 Centimetre = 0.01 m
  • 1 Second = 1 s
  • 1 Second Squared = 1 s²
  • 1 Square Centimetre = 0.01 m x 0.01 m = 0.0001 m²

Calculation

  • 1 Dyne = 0.001 kg x 0.01 m/s² = 0.00001 N
  • 1 dyn/cm² Pressure = 0.00001 N / 0.0001 m² = 0.1 Pa
