Megapascal root meter to kgf per mm to the 1.5

Type a value in MPa·√m to get it in kgf/mm^1.5 instantly.

161.2kgf/mm^1.5

That's 1.67× as tough as aluminum alloy, while structural steel is 2× tougher. At 200 MPa of stress, a crack about 19.89 mm long would become critical.

What it means

How tough is that?

This is plane-strain toughness, K_IC, which is the worst case for a thick section. Thin sheet tolerates more.

The math

How to convert MPa·√m to kgf/mm^1.5

To convert megapascal root meter to kgf per mm to the 1.5, multiply by 3.22463.

Example: 50 MPa·√m × 3.22463 = 161.231 kgf/mm^1.5.

In the other direction, 1 kgf/mm^1.5 = 0.310114 MPa·√m.
