Kilonewton.meter (abbreviations: KN.m, or kn m): is the moment of force in kilonewton times the distance between reference and application points in meter.
How to Convert Pound Inches to Kilonewton Meters
Example: How many kilonewton meters are equivalent to 12.52 pound inches?
As;
1 pound inches = 0.00011298480043059 kilonewton meters
12.52 pound inches = Y kilonewton meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 12.52 times 0.00011298480043059 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 12.52 * 0.00011298480043059 / 1 = 0.0014145697013909 kilonewton meters
Answer is: 0.0014145697013909 kilonewton meters are equivalent to 12.52 pound inches.
