About these units
The newton per meter (N/m) is an SI base or derived unit of surface tension.
The pound-force per inch (lbf/in) is an imperial unit of surface tension, equal to 175.12684 newtons per meter.
Going the other way, 1 pound-force per inch = 175.12684 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.
