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.
Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gravitational force on a kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Pascal. It was particularly prevalent in countries using the metric system for pressure measurements.
Current Use
Although largely replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts, kgf/cm² is still used in some industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and engineering to express pressure, especially in regions or applications where traditional units persist.
