Convert dekanewton to centinewton
Please provide values below to convert dekanewton [daN] to centinewton [cN], or Convert centinewton to dekanewton.
1 daN = 1000 cN. To convert dekanewton to centinewton, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cN = 0.001 daN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daN = 1000 cN
- 1 cN = 0.001 daN
- 10 daN = 10000 cN
- 100 daN = 100000 cN
How to Convert Dekanewton to Centinewton
1 daN = 1000 cN
Example: convert 15 daN to cN:
15 daN = 15 × 1000 cN = 15000 cN

Dekanewton
A dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The dekanewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger, more convenient unit of force for engineering and scientific applications, especially in contexts where the newton is too small for practical use.
Current Use
The dekanewton is used in engineering and physics to measure force, particularly in fields like mechanics and material testing, though it is less common than the newton.
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.
