What are Kip-force square Inch and Ton-force long square Foot

A kip-force square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure. One kip-force is equivalent to 1000 pounds-force (lbf), and when this force is distributed over an area of one square inch, it results in a pressure reading in kipf/in². This unit is commonly used in engineering and construction to measure stresses in materials and structural members.

A ton-force long square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure or stress. It represents the amount of force exerted by a long ton, which is equivalent to 2240 pounds-force (lbf), over an area of one square foot. This unit is often used in the British engineering and construction industries to describe the strength of materials or the load-bearing capacity of structures.

History of Kip-force square Inch and Ton-force long square Foot
