Danish term or phrase: lbm (abbreviation)

The document is a tenancy agreement and the abbreviation describes the internal walls. My guess is that it means something like load bearing mass, but any help appreciated.

Gipsepladevægge kan påføres en maksimal belastning på XXXkg pr. lbm. væg, på en XX cm dyb hylde.

Thanks again.

English translation:running meter (RM)

Explanation:
In danish lbm normally means "løbende meter"
It is correct that we talk load, but the correct translation is kg pr. running meter.
Normally a load is expressed as mass/area and since we know the with of the shelf it should add up.
