Formula
To convert a surface tension from pound of force per inch (lbf/in) to newton per meter (N/m), multiply the surface tension in pound of force per inch by 175.1268352
s(N/m) = s(lbf/in) × 175.1268352
Examples:
Convert 100 pound of force per inch to newton per meter:
s(N/m) = 100lbf/in × 175.1268352 = 17512.68352 N/m
