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. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
