Convert kgf/m to kN/m or kN/m back to kgf/m for distributed linear loads.
In structural load notation, kg/m is commonly intended as kilogram-force per meter.
kgf/m
1 lb/ft = 0.0145939 kN/m
kg/m to kN/m
For load notation, kg/m usually means kgf/m. Multiply by 0.00980665 to obtain kN/m.
kN/m to kg/m
Divide by 0.00980665. Thus 1 kN/m = 101.9716 kgf/m.
lb/ft and plf
One pound-force per foot equals approximately 0.0145939 kN/m.
