Pound Per Linear Inch (abbreviations: lb/in, or ppi): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
How to Convert Pounds Per Linear Inches to Tonnes Per Linear Meters
Example: How many tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 28.83 pounds per linear inches?
As;
1 pounds per linear inches = 0.017858267716535 tonnes per linear meters
28.83 pounds per linear inches = Y tonnes per linear meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 28.83 times 0.017858267716535 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 28.83 * 0.017858267716535 / 1 = 0.51485385826772 tonnes per linear meters
Answer is: 0.51485385826772 tonnes per linear meters are equivalent to 28.83 pounds per linear inches.
