What are Ton-force and Pound-force

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, abbreviated as tf, is a unit of force derived from the metric ton. It represents the force exerted by one metric ton of mass under standard gravity. Commonly used in engineering and scientific calculations, ton-force helps quantify significant forces in large-scale applications. Transitioning from other units of force to ton-force allows for more precise and relevant measurements in contexts where massive forces are involved.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, denoted as lbf, is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and other regions that employ the imperial system. It represents the force exerted by a mass of one pound under standard gravity. Engineers and scientists frequently use pound-force to measure and express smaller-scale forces. Transitioning from other units to pound-force enables accurate and familiar calculations in applications where the imperial system is preferred.
