Pound Per Linear Inch (abbreviations: lb/in, or ppi): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
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 Inches to Newton Per Linear Meters
Example: How many newton per linear meters are equivalent to 28.22 pounds per linear inches?
As;
1 pounds per linear inches = 175.12679092099 newton per linear meters
28.22 pounds per linear inches = Y newton per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 28.22 times 175.12679092099 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 28.22 * 175.12679092099 / 1 = 4942.0780397904 newton per linear meters
Answer is: 4942.0780397904 newton per linear meters are equivalent to 28.22 pounds per linear inches.
