About Pounds-force per inch

The pound-force per inch (lbf/in) equals (0.45359237 × 9.80665) / 0.0254 ≈ 175.127 N/m, used in US industrial specifications for adhesive peel strength, hot-melt bond lines, and surface tension of molten metals. 1 lbf/in = 12 lbf/ft ≈ 175.127 N/m ≈ 175 127 mN/m.

About Nanonewtons per metre

The nanonewton per metre (nN/m) equals 10⁻⁹ N/m, encountered in AFM force spectroscopy for interfacial line-tension measurements and wetting studies on nanostructured surfaces. Colloidal particle contact lines at fluid interfaces can exert forces in the nN/m range. 1 nN/m = 10⁻³ µN/m = 10⁻⁶ mN/m.
