Hello All,
If there is anyone (and I know your out there) that uses efunda for finding material props for thier SW material DB's.
Could someone explain to my how to get N/in^2 from N/m^2? Or do you convert from something else and what? I have a great little program called Convert, but it doesn't have anything to do with Newtons that I could find. What I'm actually looking for is the Material properties for Acetel and/or Delrin.
TIA, Muggs
Hi Muggs, Best point to go for materials info is
As always, Google is king. Simply enter something like this in the Google seach box:
14.7lb/in^2 = ? N/m^2and you get something like this in return:
14.7 (lb / (in^2)) = 101 352.932 N / (m^2)So in your case it would be:
x.xxN/m^2 = ? N/in^2
Complete instructions here:
To paraphrase Homer Simpson:

NO STINKING WAY!!! That's awesome!
Thanks Jim, Muggs
Thank you Tick,
I wasn't going to go there because I thought maybe it's a standard measurement that I was unaware of, but that's exactly what I was thinking. But I'm thinking SW is making strides because in SW2004 it was in N/m^2.

Hi Muggs,
What you need is one of these: Calc98 available at

Thanks Vinodh, That's very much like what I have. Only much better!!!
Thanks again, Muggs
Hi again,
...just forgot to mention that both of them (Calc98 & Versaverter) can be customized so that new units can be added... (and that is what I like so much about them)
