Kilopound Inch (abbreviations: kips.in, or kips in, or kilopound.inch): is the moment of force in kilopound times the distance between reference and application points in inch.
Ton Meter (abbreviations: t.m, or tm, or ton.meter): is the moment of force in ton times the distance between reference and application points in meter.
How to Convert Kilopound Inches to Ton.meters
Example: How many ton.meters are equivalent to 50.54 kilopound inches?
As;
1 kilopound inches = 0.01152144 ton.meters
50.54 kilopound inches = Y ton.meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 50.54 times 0.01152144 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 50.54 * 0.01152144 / 1 = 0.5822935776 ton.meters
Answer is: 0.5822935776 ton.meters are equivalent to 50.54 kilopound inches.
