Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Foot
Ton-force per square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square foot originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily in engineering and construction contexts, to measure pressure or stress levels. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in specific industries.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units such as pascals. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to structural and material stress assessments.
Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square inch originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts. It has been used historically in fields such as material testing and hydraulic systems.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by the more standard unit of pressure, the pound per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy documents or specific industrial applications where imperial units are preferred.
