Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Feet to Tonnes Per Linear Meters
Example: How many tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 94.49 kilopounds per linear feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear feet = 1.4881889763779 tonnes per linear meters
94.49 kilopounds per linear feet = Y tonnes per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 94.49 times 1.4881889763779 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 94.49 * 1.4881889763779 / 1 = 140.61897637795 tonnes per linear meters
Answer is: 140.61897637795 tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 94.49 kilopounds per linear feet.
