Convert centinewton to millinewton
Please provide values below to convert centinewton [cN] to millinewton [mN], or Convert millinewton to centinewton.
1 cN = 10 mN. To convert centinewton to millinewton, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mN = 0.1 cN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cN = 10 mN
- 1 mN = 0.1 cN
- 10 cN = 100 mN
- 100 cN = 1000 mN
How to Convert Centinewton to Millinewton
1 cN = 10 mN
Example: convert 15 cN to mN:
15 cN = 15 × 10 mN = 150 mN

Centinewton
A centinewton (cN) is a unit of force equal to one hundredth of a newton, the SI derived unit of force.
History/Origin
The centinewton was introduced as a convenient subunit of the newton for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts, though it is not an SI standard unit and is rarely used in formal scientific literature.
Current Use
The centinewton is primarily used in specialized fields such as engineering, material testing, and calibration where small force measurements are needed, but it is largely replaced by the newton in most scientific and technical applications.
Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
