Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Kilopound Per Linear Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Newton Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 22.73 newton per linear meters?
As;
1 newton per linear meters = 5.7101486E-6 kilopounds per linear inches
22.73 newton per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 22.73 times 5.7101486E-6 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 22.73 * 5.7101486E-6 / 1 = 0.000129791677678 kilopounds per linear inches
Answer is: 0.000129791677678 kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 22.73 newton per linear meters.
