Tonne Per Linear Meter (abbreviations: t/m, or tpm): is a force in tonne applied over a unit length in linear meter.
Pound Per Linear Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft, or ppf): is a force in pounds applied over a unit length in linear foot.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Feet
Example: How many pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 66.72 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 671.95767195767 pounds per linear feet
66.72 tonnes per linear meters = Y pounds per linear feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 66.72 times 671.95767195767 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 66.72 * 671.95767195767 / 1 = 44833.015873016 pounds per linear feet
Answer is: 44833.015873016 pounds per linear feet are equivalent to 66.72 tonnes per linear meters.
