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 Inch (abbreviation: kips/in): is a force in kilopounds applied over a unit length in linear inch.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Kilopounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 78.45 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 0.055996472663139 kilopounds per linear inches
78.45 tonnes per linear meters = Y kilopounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 78.45 times 0.055996472663139 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 78.45 * 0.055996472663139 / 1 = 4.3929232804233 kilopounds per linear inches
Answer is: 4.3929232804233 kilopounds per linear inches are equivalent to 78.45 tonnes per linear meters.
