Conversion Formula
nN/m = kN/m × 1000000000000
About Kilonewtons per metre
The kilonewton per metre (kN/m) equals 1 000 N/m = 10⁶ mN/m - applied in geotechnical engineering for electro-osmotic soil surface-tension effects and in materials science for metal-ceramic interfacial fracture energy. Alumina-aluminium interfaces: ~0.5-1 kN/m; diamond-metal bonds: several kN/m. 1 kN/m = 1 000 N/m = 10⁶ mN/m.
About Nanonewtons per metre
The nanonewton per metre (nN/m) equals 10⁻⁹ N/m, encountered in AFM force spectroscopy for interfacial line-tension measurements and wetting studies on nanostructured surfaces. Colloidal particle contact lines at fluid interfaces can exert forces in the nN/m range. 1 nN/m = 10⁻³ µN/m = 10⁻⁶ mN/m.
