What Is This Tool?
This tool converts surface tension values measured in erg per square millimeter (erg/mm²) into newton per meter (N/m), the SI unit for surface tension. It helps translate cgs-based laboratory data into standardized SI units for better comparison and analysis.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in erg per square millimeter (erg/mm²) you want to convert.
- Select erg/mm² as the source unit and newton/meter [N/m] as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to get the corresponding value in N/m.
- Use the results for scientific reporting, materials analysis, or design calculations.
Key Features
- Converts surface tension from erg/mm² to newton/meter [N/m]
- Based on the precise conversion rate: 1 erg/mm² = 0.1 N/m
- Supports scientific and industrial surface tension applications
- Browser-based, easy and quick to use without installation
Examples
- 5 erg/mm² converts to 0.5 N/m
- 10 erg/mm² converts to 1.0 N/m
Common Use Cases
- Reporting interfacial energy or surface tension of liquids and thin films in laboratory experiments.
- Expressing adhesion or coating energies and fracture surface energy in materials science.
- Quantifying surface energetics in soft-matter and colloid research such as wetting and contact-angle analysis.
- Translating CGS-measured surface tension values to SI units for engineering comparisons.
- Analyzing capillary flows, wetting, and droplet formation in microfluidics and printing technologies.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure unit consistency by checking measurement conditions when converting between CGS and SI units.

Key Terminology
- Erg/square millimeter (erg/mm²)
- A cgs-derived unit of surface energy density representing energy per area to maintain a surface, equivalent to 0.1 joule per square meter.
- Newton per meter (N/m)
- The SI unit of surface tension defined as force per unit length along a liquid interface, also expressed as energy per unit area.
- Surface tension
- A property measuring the energy or force at a liquid surface that causes it to minimize area and affects phenomena like capillarity and droplet shapes.
