Convert Dyne Centimeter to Newton Millimeter
Enter the number of dyne centimeters that you want to convert to newton millimeters.
How to Convert Dyne Centimeters to Newton Millimeters
The dyne centimeter and newton millimeter are both units of torque. By definition, 1 newton millimeter equals exactly 10000 dyne centimeters. This means to convert dyne centimeters to newton millimeters, you divide by 10000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 dyn·cm to newton millimeters:
We need to convert dyne centimeters to newton millimeters
Since 1 N·mm = 10000 dyn·cm, divide by 10000
5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005
5 dyn·cm = 0.0005 N·mm

About These Units
Dyne Centimeter (dyn·cm)
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) equals 10⁻⁷ N·m—the CGS unit of torque. One newton meter = 10⁷ dyne·cm. Used in scientific literature, particularly older physics texts. Also known as erg (unit of energy and work in CGS).
Newton Millimeter (N·mm)
A newton millimeter (N·mm) equals 0.001 N·m or 1 mN·m. Used for precision mechanisms, small fasteners, dental tools, and miniature motor specifications. Fine instrument screws often specified in N·mm. One N·mm = 0.1416 oz·in.
