How to convert Square meter to Running meter?

Question

guys there are so many situations where i come across this dilemma of having to convert square meters to running meters and i just cant. i know its pretty simple to convert square meter to square foot, but how to i convert it to running meter????

thanks guys for your replies,
the fact is i'm into painting business and i generally and almost always quote my rates in Square meter. Now there are certain firms which want me to quote them in Running Meter (1RM=1M)
the paintwork i do is in microns, ranging from 65-125 microns.
Running Meter and A meter are the same, just used differently in engineering projects to mean the same thing. ie., 1000cm or 10000mm

Answer 1

#Area=length*width

-Actually both are different.one is meter and another is meter^2.

As far as the running meter is the fabrication terminology and usually used when calculating bill for fabrication.Generally it is used for fabrication of piping on a rack,where inch diameter will not give sufficient charges.


#Now, imagine your pipe run, with bends and ups and downs. From start to finish, it might be 100 m long and cover a total horizontal distance, in a straight line (running: in a straight line; linear: said of measurement (a running foot) of only 40 metres. Which is the "running distance".

Edit:
Hint:
For a given diameter, how do we calculate the weight of steel per meter length of the steel bar and vice versa?

For any steel reinforcement bar, weight per running meter is equal to d2/162 Kg, where d is diameter of the bar in mm. For example, 10 mm diameter bar will weigh 10x10/162 = 0.617 Kg/m.

linear foot (or "lineal" foot) (ft or lf)
terms used loosely to describe a one-foot length of any long, narrow object. The correct term is linear foot; the word "lineal" refers to a line of ancestry, not to length. Boards, pipes, and fencing are typical objects measured and sold by the linear foot. In the moving industry, a linear foot is a one-foot length of a moving van, usually a volume of about 72 cubic feet (roughly 2 cubic meters). Occasionally the term "linear foot" is used as an alternate name for the board foot, but this is appropriate only if the board is 12 inches wide. Terms such as linear meter and linear yard are used in a similar way to indicate one-meter or one-yard lengths.

Answer 4

What is a running meter? I have never heard of that one. A meter is always a meter. It is a measure of distance. Square meter is a measure of area. Lenght times width. A 10 by 10 meter square is 100 square meters. 10 * 10. Finding the width of a square is then the square root of the area. 100 sqrt = 10.

Answer 5

Interesting. I recently came across 'running meter' in my job. 'Running meter' refers to an uninterrupted length regardless of width. (unless there is a standard width decided upon within your industry.) The square meter only comes into play when calculating the area. length x width.

Answer 6

To calculate:

Running meters = (square meters / width)

Answer 7

Whichever way you look at it 1m² is 1 metre long = 1 running metre. (Area = 100cm x 100cm = 10,000cm²)

So, if it has a width of say, 10cm then its length is 10,000cm ÷ 10cm = 1,000cm long and, 1,000cm / 100 cm/m = 10 running metres.
(Kisna_96, you're missing your own point here, you asked about area as much as 'running metres')

(As a conversion therefore, Running metres = Area ÷ Width (may need converting to cm as above).

(And Mr. Clever Dick thumbs down, the same applies even if it's a thin coat of paint. A 3m high wall x 10 RUNNING Metres long = 30m².
A line of paint 0.5 m wide and 60 RUNNING Metres long will need the same amount of paint...Stick that in your pipe and smoke it !!!).

Answer 9

Get your square meters to put on their sneakers and running shorts.

Answer 10

See i recently came across where the product size is 1200mm X 395mm and rate is 70000/sq mtr but party want the rate in running mtr.How to find the same.Pls anybody know help me.
