About Grams-force per centimetre
The gram-force per centimetre (gf/cm) equals g_n × 10⁻³ / 10⁻² = 0.980665 N/m - a gravitational metric unit that appeared in early tensiometry where ring and plate instruments were calibrated in grams. 1 gf/cm ≈ 0.9807 N/m ≈ 980.7 mN/m, close to but slightly less than 1 N/m. Rarely used after SI adoption. 1 gf/cm = 0.980665 N/m.
About Pounds-force per inch
The pound-force per inch (lbf/in) equals (0.45359237 × 9.80665) / 0.0254 ≈ 175.127 N/m, used in US industrial specifications for adhesive peel strength, hot-melt bond lines, and surface tension of molten metals. 1 lbf/in = 12 lbf/ft ≈ 175.127 N/m ≈ 175 127 mN/m.
