What are Ksi and Ton-force

Definition of Ksi

KSI, or kilopound per square inch, is a unit of pressure. It represents a thousand pounds of force applied over one square inch of area. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering to measure tensile and yield strength, indicating how much load a material can withstand per square inch before deformation.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, or simply ton, is a unit of force. It defines the amount of gravitational force exerted by one short ton, equivalent to 2000 pounds. In engineering, it's used to express large forces, such as the load capacity of structures or the power of machinery, and is often measured over a square foot to denote pressure.
