Ton-Force (Long)/square Inch

Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) 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 (long) originated from the imperial system of units used in the UK, where it was defined as the force exerted by a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity. It has been used historically in engineering and pressure measurements but has largely been replaced by SI units.

Current Use

Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial contexts in the UK.


Pound-Force/square Inch

Pound-force per square inch (lbf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.

History/Origin

The unit originated from the Imperial system and became widely used in the United States for measuring pressure, especially in engineering and tire pressure contexts.

Current Use

Today, lbf/in^2, commonly known as psi, is still used in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications to measure pressure.
