About Micronewtons per metre
The micronewton per metre (µN/m) equals 10⁻⁶ N/m, used in precision thin-film capillarity studies and cryogenic surface-tension measurements. Liquid helium-4 at 2 K has a surface tension of ~0.37 mN/m (370 µN/m); liquid ³He near absolute zero is even lower. Numerically identical to µJ/m². 1 µN/m = 10⁻³ mN/m.
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.
