Spring Rate Conversion

Is there a site or program that can convert lbs/in into kg/mm? If not, can someone tell me how much 450lbs/in, 350lbs/in is in kg/mm? Thanks.

I was hoping I didn't have to do the math, because I have a lot of spring rates. But if the chart isn't correct, I guess I'll have to do so

. Thanks.

25.4 X 2.2 = 55.88

So you take the kg/mm number and multiply by 55.88 to get the in/lbs.

IE 8kg/mm = 447lbs/in
