About these units
The newton per meter (N/m) is an SI base or derived unit of surface tension.
The dyne per centimeter (dyn/cm) is a metric unit of surface tension, equal to 0.001 newtons per meter.
Going the other way, 1 dyne per centimeter = 0.001 newtons per meter. Surface tension is force per unit length along a liquid surface. Water at room temperature sits near 72 mN/m, which is conveniently the same number in dyn/cm. Coatings, inks and detergents are all specified with it.
