Pound Per Linear Inch (abbreviations: lb/in, or ppi): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
Kilonewton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: kN/m, or kNpm): is a force in kilonewton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Inches to Kilonewtons Per Linear Meters
Example: How many Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 14.16 pounds per linear inches?
As;
1 pounds per linear inches = 0.17512679092099 Kilonewtons per linear meters
14.16 pounds per linear inches = Y Kilonewtons per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 14.16 times 0.17512679092099 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 14.16 * 0.17512679092099 / 1 = 2.4797953594412 Kilonewtons per linear meters
Answer is: 2.4797953594412 Kilonewtons per linear meters are equivalent to 14.16 pounds per linear inches.
