Pound Per Linear Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft, or ppf): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Feet to Newton Per Linear Meters
Example: How many newton per linear meters are equivalent to 8.02 pounds per linear feet?
As;
1 pounds per linear feet = 14.593899243416 newton per linear meters
8.02 pounds per linear feet = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 8.02 times 14.593899243416 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 8.02 * 14.593899243416 / 1 = 117.0430719322 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 117.0430719322 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 8.02 pounds per linear feet.
