Ton-Force (Long)/square Foot
Ton-force (long) per square foot is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) distributed over one square foot.
History/Origin
This unit originated in the UK as a practical measure for engineering and industrial applications, combining the long ton (used primarily in the UK) with square foot to measure pressure in contexts such as structural and mechanical engineering.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units like pascals. It may still appear in historical data, specialized fields, or regional contexts within the UK.
Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter
Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of gram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gram, and was commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts before the adoption of SI units. It was primarily used in regions and industries where the metric system was prevalent.
Current Use
Today, gf/cm² is largely considered obsolete and is rarely used in modern scientific or engineering applications. Pressure measurements are typically expressed in pascals (Pa) or bar, but the unit may still appear in legacy systems or specific niche contexts.
