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.
About Dynes per centimetre
The dyne per centimetre (dyn/cm) equals 10⁻³ N/m - the CGS unit of surface tension, numerically identical to mN/m, mJ/m² and erg/cm². Still widely used in older scientific literature and industrial tensiometry: water = 72.8 dyn/cm; surfactant solutions typically 30-60 dyn/cm above the CMC. 1 dyn/cm = 1 mN/m = 1 erg/cm².
