Frequently Asked Questions
- What does gram-force per centimeter measure?
- Gram-force per centimeter (gf/cm) measures surface tension as force applied along one centimeter of length at a liquid surface or interface.
- Why convert surface tension to pound-force per inch?
- Converting to pound-force per inch [lbf/in] is useful for industries and regions where imperial units are standard, aiding engineering calculations and reporting.
- Is the conversion affected by temperature or measurement methods?
- Yes, temperature and how surface tension is measured can influence values, so consistent conditions are important for accuracy.
Key Terminology
- Gram-force per centimeter (gf/cm)
- A metric unit measuring surface tension as the force of one gram-force distributed along one centimeter of length at a liquid interface.
- Pound-force per inch [lbf/in]
- An imperial unit expressing surface tension as one pound-force acting along one inch of length at a liquid surface.
- Surface Tension
- The force per unit length present at the interface between a liquid and another phase, influencing wetting and capillary action.
