poundal (pdl) to dyne (dyn) conversion guide

poundal (pdl) to dyne (dyn) expresses the same force in a different unit. The direction matters: a value given in poundal (pdl) is multiplied by the source-to-target factor to obtain dyne (dyn). Keep the original measurement and its unit together when copying a result into a calculation.

Conversion formula

Value in dyne (dyn) = value in poundal (pdl) × (17281869297 / 1250000). The factor is approximately 13825.49544. Derive it by dividing the source unit value in the base unit by the destination unit value in the same base unit.

About these units

poundal (pdl): One poundal is one international avoirdupois pound foot per second squared, equal to 0.138254954376 newtons. It differs from pound-force and does not use standard gravity in its definition. One source unit equals 0.1382549544 newton.

dyne (dyn): A dyne is one gram centimeter per second squared, equal to 10^-5 newtons. It is a mechanical force unit and does not require a local-gravity assumption. One destination unit equals 0.00001 newton.

Worked examples

  • 1 poundal (pdl) = approximately 13825.49544 dyne (dyn)
  • 2.5 poundal (pdl) = approximately 34563.73859 dyne (dyn)
  • 10 poundal (pdl) = approximately 138254.9544 dyne (dyn)

Precision and interpretation

Examples are rounded for display. Keep the unrounded factor for intermediate calculations and round the final answer to match the precision of the original measurement. Extra decimal places do not make a measured quantity more accurate.

Force and mass are different quantities. Check the distinction between pound-force and pound mass, and between metric, short, and long ton-force.

Common questions

How do I reverse this conversion?

Divide the target-unit value by the forward factor, or use the inverse converter. Multiplying by the same factor again is not the inverse operation.

Why can the displayed answer differ slightly?

Display rounding and numerical precision can produce a small difference from an exact fractional calculation. For technical work, retain sufficient precision and confirm the unit convention required by the source.
