To convert a measurement in dynes to a measurement in pound-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 2.2481E-6 pound-force/dyne.

Since one dyne is equal to 2.2481E-6 pound-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:

pound-force = dynes × 2.2481E-6

The force in pound-force is equal to the force in dynes multiplied by 2.2481E-6.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000 dynes to pound-force using the formula above.
pound-force = (500,000 dyn × 2.2481E-6) = 1.124045 lbf

Dynes and pound-force are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Dyne?

The dyne is the force needed to move one gram of mass at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.

The dyne is a centimeter-gram-second (CGS) unit of force. Dynes can be abbreviated as dyn; for example, 1 dyne can be written as 1 dyn.

Dynes can be expressed using the formula: 1 dyn = 1 gcms2
