Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Feet to Kilopounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 5.98 kilopounds per linear feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear feet = 0.083333333333333 kilopounds per linear inches
5.98 kilopounds per linear feet = Y kilopounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 5.98 times 0.083333333333333 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 5.98 * 0.083333333333333 / 1 = 0.49833333333333 kilopounds per linear inches
Answer is: 0.49833333333333 kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 5.98 kilopounds per linear feet.
