How to Convert psi to dyn/cm²?

Converting from psi to dyn/cm² is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure accurate conversions from pound force per square inch to dyne per square centimeter:

  • Select the Pound Force Per Square Inch Value: Start by determining the pound force per square inch (psi) value you want to convert into dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm²). This is your starting point.
  • Multiply by the Conversion Factor: To calculate pound force per square inch to equivalent dyne per square centimeter amount, multiply the selected psi value by 68947.57.
  • Illustration of Multiplication:
  • 1 psi = 68947.57 dyn/cm²
  • 10 psi = 689475.7 dyn/cm²
  • 100 psi = 6894757 dyn/cm²
  • Find the Conversion Result: The result of this multiplication is your converted value in dyne per square centimeter unit. This represents the same pressure but in a different unit.
  • Save Your Dyne per Square Centimeter Value: After converting, remember to save the result. This value represents the pressure you initially measured, now expressed in dyne per square centimeters.
  • Alternative Method – Division: If you prefer not to multiply, you can achieve the same conversion by dividing the pound force per square inch value by 0.00001450377438972831. This alternative method also gives you the correct pressure in dyne per square centimeters.
  • Illustration of Division:
  • dyn/cm² = psi ÷ 0.00001450377438972831

What is Pressure?

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.

What is Pound Force Per Square Inch?

The pound force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in2) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, compressed gases, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the psi remains the preferred unit in many engineering applications. More information is available in the pounds per square inch article.

One pound force per square inch is equal to 6,894.76 pascals, 6.89476 kilopascals, 0.0689476 bar, 0.068046 standard atmosphere, and 0.0703069 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The psi is one of the world's most recognized units for measuring pressure.

What is Dyne per Square Centimeter?

The dyne per square centimeter (symbol: dyn/cm²) is a CGS unit of pressure equal to one barye or exactly 0.1 pascal. It was widely used in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system before SI units became the international standard. Today, it is mainly encountered in historical scientific publications and technical literature. The unit belongs to the CGS system of units.

One dyne per square centimeter is equal to 0.1 pascal, 1 barye, 0.000001 bar, 0.0001 kilopascal, and 9.86923×10-7 standard atmosphere. It remains useful for interpreting older scientific documents.

Pound Force Per Square Inch to Dyne per Square Centimeter Examples

  • Example 1:

    Convert 0.4 Pound Force Per Square Inch pressure to Dyne per Square Centimeter unit.

    Solution:

    We know that one Pound Force Per Square Inch is equivalent to 68947.57 Dyne per Square Centimeter.

    Therefore,

    0.4 psi = 0.4 x 68947.57 dyn/cm².

    0.4 psi = 27579.028 dyn/cm².

    Hence, 0.4 Pound Force Per Square Inch is approximately equal to 27579.028 Dyne per Square Centimeter.

  • Example 2:

    Convert 9 Pound Force Per Square Inch pressure to Dyne per Square Centimeter unit.

    Solution:

    We know that one Pound Force Per Square Inch is equivalent to 68947.57 Dyne per Square Centimeter.

    Therefore,

    9 psi = 9 x 68947.57 dyn/cm².

    9 psi = 620528.13 dyn/cm².

    Hence, 9 Pound Force Per Square Inch is approximately equal to 620528.13 Dyne per Square Centimeter.
