About These Units
- Dyne per Centimeter (dyn/cm)
- The centimeter-gram-second unit of surface tension, exactly 0.001 N/m and so equal to 1 mN/m. Water at 20 °C is about 73 dyn/cm, and coating and printing labs still quote it through dyne test pens.
- Newton per Meter (N/m)
- The SI unit of surface tension, the force along a line of liquid surface per meter of length, also expressed as J/m². Water at 20 °C is about 0.073 N/m, which is why small insects can stand on it.
