Convert pascal to dyne/square centimeter
Please provide values below to convert pascal [Pa] to dyne/square centimeter [dyn/cm^2], or Convert dyne/square centimeter to pascal.
1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm^2. To convert pascal to dyne/square centimeter, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dyn/cm^2 = 0.1 Pa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm^2
- 1 dyn/cm^2 = 0.1 Pa
- 10 Pa = 100 dyn/cm^2
- 100 Pa = 1000 dyn/cm^2
How to Convert Pascal to Dyne/square Centimeter
1 Pa = 10 dyn/cm^2
Example: convert 15 Pa to dyn/cm^2:
15 Pa = 15 × 10 dyn/cm^2 = 150 dyn/cm^2

Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
Frequently Asked Questions
