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.

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
