How to Convert Ounce-force to Dyne
- 1 ozf = 27801.3851 dyn
- 1 dyn = 0.0000359694309 ozf
- Example: convert 15 ozf to dyn: 15 ozf = 15 × 27801.3851 dyn = 417020.7764 dyn
Formula
dyn = ozf × 27801.38509538
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 ozf = 1/16 lbf = 0.27801385095378 N
- 1 dyn = 1 g·cm/s² = 10⁻⁵ N
- 1 ozf = 0.2780138509538 N ÷ 0.00001 N per dyn = 27801.38509538 dyn
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Ounce-force definition: ounce-force; Dyne definition: dyne.
Worked examples
- A reading of 4 ozf converts to 111205.5404 dyn.
4 ozf × 27801.3851 = 111205.5404 dyn - A value of 16 ozf is 444822.1615 dyn.
16 ozf × 27801.3851 = 444822.1615 dyn
