Convert newton/metre to pound force/inch

Vice Versa: pound force/inch to newton/metre

Newton/Metre

The newton per metre (N/m) is the SI unit of surface tension, measuring the force acting along the surface of a liquid per unit length. Water has a surface tension of approximately 0.0728 N/m at 20°C. Surface tension causes phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of soap bubbles.

Pound-Force/Inch

The pound-force per inch (lbf/in) is an imperial unit of surface tension or spring constant in different contexts. As a surface tension unit, one lbf/in equals approximately 175.127 N/m. It is used in North American materials testing and adhesive bond strength measurements.
