Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Kilopound Per Linear Foot (abbreviation: kips/ft): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 57.2 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 0.67195767195767 kilopounds per linear feet
57.2 tonnes per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 57.2 times 0.67195767195767 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 57.2 * 0.67195767195767 / 1 = 38.435978835979 kilopounds per linear feet
Answer is: 38.435978835979 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 57.2 tonnes per linear meters.
