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 Tonnes Per Linear Meters to Pounds Per Linear Inches
Example: How many pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 45.53 tonnes per linear meters?
As;
1 tonnes per linear meters = 55.996472663139 pounds per linear inches
45.53 tonnes per linear meters = Y pounds per linear inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 45.53 times 55.996472663139 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 45.53 * 55.996472663139 / 1 = 2549.5194003527 pounds per linear inches
Answer is: 2549.5194003527 pounds per linear inches are equivalent to 45.53 tonnes per linear meters.
