What are Ton and Foot

Definition of Ton

A ton of refrigeration is a unit of power used in some countries, mainly the United States, to describe the heat-extraction capacity of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. It is defined as the rate of heat transfer that results in the melting of 1 ton (2000 pounds) of ice in 24 hours. One ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12,000 BTU per hour or approximately 3.517 kilowatts. This unit is crucial in the HVAC industry, helping engineers and consumers understand and compare the cooling capacity of different systems.

Definition of Foot

A foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 12 inches or one-third of a yard. The foot has been used throughout history as a standard measurement, originally based on the length of a human foot. It is widely used in the United States for various applications, including construction, real estate, and interior design. Despite the global shift towards the metric system, the foot remains a popular unit of length in certain countries and industries.
