What are Kilogram-force square Millimeter and Ton-force long square Foot

Definition of Kilogram-force square Millimeter

A kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure applied by a kilogram force over an area of one square millimeter. It is a metric system measurement used to quantify pressure or stress in engineering and scientific contexts, especially in material science and mechanical engineering.

Definition of Ton-force long square Foot

A ton-force long per square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure or stress. It represents the force of one long ton (2,240 pounds) acting on an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British Imperial system and is commonly used in civil and mechanical engineering to describe load or stress levels in structures and materials.
