What are Kilogram-force square millimeter and Ton-force short square foot

Definition of Kilogram-force square millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm^2) is a unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter. This metric unit is often used in engineering and material science to measure tensile strength, material resistance, and mechanical stress.

Definition of Ton-force short square foot

Ton-force (short) per square foot (tonf/ft^2) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as the force of one short ton (2000 pounds) exerted on an area of one square foot. Utilized predominantly in the United States, this unit measures large-scale pressures such as the load-bearing capacity of floors or the strength of construction materials.
