Discover the precision of our KSI to Ton-force short sq. Foot Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool seamlessly transforms stress and pressure units, sparking your curiosity for engineering excellence.
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-forceTon-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.
| KSI (ksi) | Ton-force short per square foot (tonf/sq ft) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 ksi | 14.4 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.2 ksi | 28.8 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.3 ksi | 43.2 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.4 ksi | 57.6 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.5 ksi | 72 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.6 ksi | 86.4 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.7 ksi | 100.8 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.8 ksi | 115.2 tonf/sq ft |
| 0.9 ksi | 129.6 tonf/sq ft |
| 1.0 ksi | 144 tonf/sq ft |
1 ksi = 14.4 tonf/sq ft
0.1 ksi = 1.44 tonf/sq ft
Example 1:
Convert 0.5 ksi to tonf/sq ft:
0.5 ksi = 0.5 × 14.4 tonf/sq ft = 7.2 tonf/sq ft
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 ksi to tonf/sq ft:
2.5 ksi = 2.5 × 14.4 tonf/sq ft = 36 tonf/sq ft
The KSI to Ton-force short sq. Foot Converter emerged from the need to transition between units of pressure commonly used in different regions and industries.
