What are Hectopascal and Ton-force

Definition of Hectopascal

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 pascals. It is a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure and is equivalent to one millibar. Hectopascals are commonly used in meteorology and for weather forecasts to describe the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere.

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, long per square inch (tonf/in²), is a unit of pressure representing the force of one long ton (2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms) exerted over an area of one square inch. It is an imperial measurement commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Conversion of Hectopascal to Ton-force

1 hPa = 0.0001450377 tonf/in²
100 hPa = 0.01450377 tonf/in²

Example 1:
Convert 850 hPa to tonf/in²:
850 hPa = 850 × 0.0001450377 tonf/in² = 0.123282045 tonf/in²

Example 2:
Convert 1200 hPa to tonf/in²:
1200 hPa = 1200 × 0.0001450377 tonf/in² = 0.17404524 tonf/in²
