To convert a measurement in dynes to a measurement in poundals, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 7.233E-5 poundals/dyne.

Since one dyne is equal to 7.233E-5 poundals, you can use this simple formula to convert:

poundals = dynes × 7.233E-5

The force in poundals is equal to the force in dynes multiplied by 7.233E-5.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 dynes to poundals using the formula above.
poundals = (50,000 dyn × 7.233E-5) = 3.616507 pdl

Dynes and poundals 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

What Is a Poundal?

The poundal is a unit equal to the force needed to move one pound of mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.

The poundal is a US customary and imperial unit of force. It's also used in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. Poundals can be abbreviated as pdl; for example, 1 poundal can be written as 1 pdl.

Poundals can be expressed using the formula: 1 pdl = 1lb × fts2
