Convert Dyne Centimeter to Newton Millimeter

Enter the number of dyne centimeters that you want to convert to newton millimeters.

1 dyn·cm (dyne centimeters) = 1e-4 N·mm (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

newton millimeters = dyne centimeters ÷ 10000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 dyn·cm to newton millimeters:

1
Convert 5 dyn·cm to newton millimeters

We need to convert dyne centimeters to newton millimeters

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 N·mm = 10000 dyn·cm, divide by 10000

5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005

Answer

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.
