Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Linear Inches to Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters
Example: How many Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 89.83 kilopounds per linear inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear inches = 175.12679092099 Kilonewtons per linear meters
89.83 kilopounds per linear inches = Y Kilonewtons per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 89.83 times 175.12679092099 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 89.83 * 175.12679092099 / 1 = 15731.639628433 Kilonewtons per linear meters
Answer is: 15731.639628433 Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 89.83 kilopounds per linear inches.
