Looking for a formula to convert Kg/m2 to LB/FT2

[Zen63T]

Is there a conversion short cut for changing 24.2 per square meter into pounds per square foot?

I believe 24.2 Kg/2M can be expressed as 4.95 Lb/2F. Does this seem reasonable?

Guess you have to Google the right wording - thanks a bunch.

This converter is very useful:

On-line conversion tools can be very useful. I've tried many but here's the best I've found so far to convert pretty much anything to anything.

Just in case nobody has yet suggested this program, try this - I use it all
the time.

In this case divide by five works pretty well!
For multiple conversion types the download both Andy and Dan suggested is a very good tool.

I get a better visual using lb/ft2 but when I read about wing loading or when in Condor everything is express in Kg/m2. Divide by 5 is perfect for the use.

Give a pilot a fish vs teach a pilot how to fish:

1 kilogram ~= 2.20 pounds
1 meter ~= 3.28 feet

Therefore,

1 kilogram / (1 meter * 1 meter) ->
= 2.20 pounds / (3.28 feet * 3.28 feet)
= ((2.20/(3.28*3.28)) (pounds/(feet*feet))
= 0.204 pounds/(feet*feet)
= hum, divide by five. ;)
