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 85.38 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 0.67195767195767 kilopounds per linear feet
85.38 tonnes per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 85.38 times 0.67195767195767 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 85.38 * 0.67195767195767 / 1 = 57.371746031746 kilopounds per linear feet
Answer is: 57.371746031746 kilopounds per linear feet are equivalent to 85.38 tonnes per linear meters.
