Ounces-force to Dynes Converter

To convert a measurement in ounces-force to dynes, multiply the value by 27,801.3851. The conversion factor comes from the relationship between both units and the newton.

For example, to convert 5 ozf to dynes: 5 × 27,801.3851 = 139,006.9255 dyn.

An ounce-force is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one avoirdupois ounce under standard gravity, equal to about 0.278 newtons (1/16 of a pound-force). Derived from the ounce in the imperial and US customary systems, the ounce-force is used where small forces are specified in customary units, such as light-duty springs and switches.

Common uses of ounces-force include: Small spring and switch actuation forces; Keyboard and button tactile force specs; Light-duty torque and tension ratings; Consumer electronics component testing.

A dyne is the CGS unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one gram at one centimeter per second squared. One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons. The dyne was the standard force unit in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system widely used in physics before SI adoption. It survives in some fields such as surface tension (dynes per centimeter).

Common uses of dynes include: Surface tension measurements (dyn/cm); Legacy physics and chemistry literature; Small-scale laboratory force measurements; Adhesion and coating testing.

Here are some common values converted:

1 ozf = 27,801.3851 dyn 5 ozf = 139,006.9255 dyn 10 ozf = 278,013.851 dyn 50 ozf = 1,390,069.2548 dyn 100 ozf = 2,780,138.5095 dyn
