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

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure or stress. It represents the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter. Utilized mainly in materials science and engineering, this unit helps in assessing the strength or load-bearing capacity of materials, with wide applications ranging from mechanical engineering to construction industry standards.

Definition of Ton-force long square Inch

Ton-force long per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure used predominantly in engineering in the United Kingdom and former British colonies. One ton-force long per square inch is the pressure exerted by a long ton (2240 pounds) of force applied over an area of one square inch. It is often used in material stress and tensile strength calculations, providing a critical measure for structural engineering.
