What are Kilopascal and Ton-force

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure within the metric system, equivalent to one thousand pascals. It measures the force of one kilonewton applied over an area of one square meter. Kilopascals are commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts to express smaller pressure values, such as the pressure exerted by a material or the stress within a structural element.

Ton-force, often denoted as 'tonf', is a unit of force commonly used in the United Kingdom and other countries that measure weight in tons. One ton-force is defined as the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) under the influence of standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). It is frequently used in engineering to describe large forces, such as the load capacity of structures or the thrust of engines.
