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 Inch (abbreviations: ksi, or kips/in2): is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one kilopound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Meters Cube to Kilopounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 7.86 tonnes per meters cube?
As;
1 tonnes per meters cube = 0.00145038 kilopounds per square inches
7.86 tonnes per meters cube = Y kilopounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 7.86 times 0.00145038 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 7.86 * 0.00145038 / 1 = 0.0113999868 kilopounds per square inches
Answer is: 0.0113999868 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 7.86 tonnes per meters cube.
