Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Pound Per Linear Inch (abbreviations: lb/in, or ppi): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 27.31 Kilonewtons per linear meters?
As;
1 Kilonewtons per linear meters = 5.7101484172753 pounds per linear inches
27.31 Kilonewtons per linear meters = Y pounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 27.31 times 5.7101484172753 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 27.31 * 5.7101484172753 / 1 = 155.94415327579 pounds per linear inches
Answer is: 155.94415327579 pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 27.31 Kilonewtons per linear meters.
