Scale factor: 1
The SI derived unit for surface tension is the newton/meter.
1 newton/meter is equal to 1 newton per meter.
Valid units must be of the surface tension type.
You can use this form to select from known units:
Surface tension is measured in force per unit length. The SI unit is Newton per metre but the CGS unit of dyne per cm is also used. One dyn/cm corresponds to 0.001 N/m.
