Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 95.38 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 0.0057101486 kilopounds per linear inches
95.38 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 95.38 times 0.0057101486 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 95.38 * 0.0057101486 / 1 = 0.544633973468 kilopounds per linear inches
Answer is: 0.544633973468 kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 95.38 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
