What is a dekapascal?

A dekapascal (daPa) is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to 10 pascals, representing force per unit area.

Why convert daPa to dyne/square centimeter?

Converting to dyne/cm² helps compare or integrate modern SI pressure data with legacy scientific work using CGS units.

What fields commonly use dyne per square centimeter?

It is used in physics research, laboratory experiments, and older scientific literature that uses CGS units.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter enables you to translate pressure values from dekapascal (daPa), which represents small pressures in SI units, to dyne per square centimeter, a CGS unit used in legacy scientific contexts. It’s useful for professionals needing to work across different measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in dekapascal (daPa) you want to convert.
Select dyne per square centimeter as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in dyne/cm².
Review the conversion result for your application or analysis.

Key Features

Converts pressure values between dekapascal and dyne per square centimeter.
Supports small pressure measurements relevant to audiology, HVAC, and laboratory calibration.
Based on the direct conversion rate: 1 daPa equals 100 dyne/cm².
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and conversion steps.

Examples

5 daPa converts to 500 dyne/cm² (5 × 100 = 500).
0.2 daPa converts to 20 dyne/cm² (0.2 × 100 = 20).

Common Use Cases

Audiology measurements such as tympanometry involving middle-ear pressures.
Monitoring small pressure differentials in HVAC systems and cleanroom filters.
Calibrating low-pressure sensors in scientific laboratories.
Translating data for physics research in astrophysics, plasma physics, and materials science where CGS units are still relevant.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify unit consistency when working with CGS and SI systems simultaneously.
Use this conversion when comparing modern measurements with legacy scientific literature.
Ensure your input values are accurate to maintain meaningful conversion results.

Limitations

Dyne per square centimeter belongs to the CGS system, largely replaced by SI units today.
Conversions may introduce precision discrepancies due to rounding or calibration differences between systems.
