What are Kilogram-force sq. Cm and Ton-force long square Inch

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force of one kilogram acting on an area of one square centimeter. It is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in countries that utilize the metric system. This measurement is a way to quantify force distribution over a specific area and is applicable in various engineering and scientific calculations.

Ton-force (long) per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one long ton-force acting over an area of one square inch. This unit is predominantly used in the United Kingdom and other countries that employ the Imperial system. It is essential for understanding the distribution of large forces over small areas, particularly in construction and material science.
