Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
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 Inches to Tonnes Per Linear Meters
Example: How many tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 27.51 kilopounds per linear inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per linear inches = 17.858267716535 tonnes per linear meters
27.51 kilopounds per linear inches = Y tonnes per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 27.51 times 17.858267716535 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 27.51 * 17.858267716535 / 1 = 491.28094488189 tonnes per linear meters
Answer is: 491.28094488189 tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 27.51 kilopounds per linear inches.
