Newton Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: N/m, or Npm): is a force in newton applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Pound Per Linear Inch (abbreviations: lb/in, or ppi): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Newton Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 48.8 newton per linear meters?
As;
1 newton per linear meters = 0.0057101484172752 pounds per linear inches
48.8 newton per linear meters = Y pounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 48.8 times 0.0057101484172752 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 48.8 * 0.0057101484172752 / 1 = 0.27865524276303 pounds per linear inches
Answer is: 0.27865524276303 pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 48.8 newton per linear meters.
