How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Feet to Kilopounds Per Linear Inches

Example: How many kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 25.17 pounds per linear feet?


As;

1 pounds per linear feet = 8.3333333333333E-5 kilopounds per linear inches

25.17 pounds per linear feet = Y kilopounds per linear inches

Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;

Y equals 25.17 times 8.3333333333333E-5 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 25.17 * 8.3333333333333E-5 / 1 = 0.0020975 kilopounds per linear inches

Answer is: 0.0020975 kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 25.17 pounds per linear feet.
