Ergs per square centimeter to millinewtons per meter
Type a value in erg/cm² to get it in mN/m instantly.
50mN/m
That's 1.56× as much tension as cooking oil, while pure water is 1.46× higher. That is about 68.68% of water’s surface tension.
What it means
How strong is that skin?
Values are against air at 20 °C. Surface tension falls as temperature rises, and collapses when soap is added.
The math
How to convert erg/cm² to mN/m
To convert ergs per square centimeter to millinewtons per meter, multiply by 1.
Example: 50 erg/cm² × 1 = 50 mN/m.
In the other direction, 1 mN/m = 1 erg/cm².
