N/m
mN/m
1. 1 N/m × 1 = 1 N/m
2. 1 N/m ÷ 0.001 = 1000 mN/m
2. 1 N/m ÷ 0.001 = 1000 mN/m
Unit Information
Newton per Meter (N/m)
The SI unit of surface tension, representing the force per unit length acting perpendicular to an imaginary line drawn on the surface of a liquid.
1 N/m = 1000 mN/m1 N/m = 1000 dyn/cm1 N/m = 0.0685 lbf/ft
Millinewton per Meter (mN/m)
A smaller unit of surface tension equal to one-thousandth of a newton per meter.
1 mN/m = 0.001 N/m1 mN/m = 1 dyn/cm1 mN/m = 0.0000685 lbf/ft
