Tonne Per Meter Cube (abbreviations: t/m2, or tpm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of tonne per meter cube.
Kilopound Per Square Foot (abbreviations: ksf, or kips/ft2): is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the ksi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). Where, 1 kilopound per square foot equals 47.8803 kilopascals.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Meters Cube to Kilopounds Per Square Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 8.57 tonnes per meters cube?
As;
1 tonnes per meters cube = 0.208854 kilopounds per square feet
8.57 tonnes per meters cube = Y kilopounds per square feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 8.57 times 0.208854 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 8.57 * 0.208854 / 1 = 1.78987878 kilopounds per square feet
Answer is: 1.78987878 kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 8.57 tonnes per meters cube.
