What are Dyne and Centipascal

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit of measurement is not as commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the Newton in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Centipascal

The centipascal is a unit of pressure in the metric system which is equal to one hundredth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure. It is a small unit that is often used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure slight variations in pressure. The centipascal facilitates precise calculations and measurements when dealing with pressure that is relatively low.

Dyne to Centipascal Conversion Table

Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) Centipascal (cPa)
1 dyn/cm² 0.1 cPa
10 dyn/cm² 1 cPa
100 dyn/cm² 10 cPa
500 dyn/cm² 50 cPa
1000 dyn/cm² 100 cPa
1500 dyn/cm² 150 cPa
2000 dyn/cm² 200 cPa
2500 dyn/cm² 250 cPa
3000 dyn/cm² 300 cPa
3500 dyn/cm² 350 cPa

Conversion of Dyne to Centipascal

1 dyn/cm² = 0.1 cPa
10 dyn/cm² = 1 cPa

Example 1:
Convert 25 dyn/cm² to cPa:
25 dyn/cm² = 25 × 0.1 cPa = 2.5 cPa

Example 2:
Convert 100 dyn/cm² to cPa:
100 dyn/cm² = 100 × 0.1 cPa = 10 cPa

History of Dyne and Centipascal

A brief history of the Dyne Square Centimeter to Centipascal Converter traces back to the adoption of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system in the 19th century. The dyne was a fundamental unit in this system. With the rise of the SI units, pascals became the standard for pressure measurement, leading to the need for conversion tools like this converter.
