Dyne per Square Centimetre

Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) is one of the smallest pressure units and is derived from the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) unit for force where 1 dyne equals 1 gram accelerated by 1 centimeter per Square second. 1 Dyne per Square Centimetre equals 0.1 pascals. So It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit Pa by multiplying its value by a factor of 0.1.

The dyn/cm² 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.
