What are Millipascal and Ton-force short sq. Foot

A millipascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a pascal. The pascal, named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, is the SI unit for pressure and is defined as one newton per square meter. Millipascals are commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in material science and engineering, to measure small differences in pressure.

A ton-force short per square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure used in the United States customary units. It represents the amount of force exerted by one short ton, which is equivalent to 2,000 pounds, over an area of one square foot. This measurement is commonly applied in construction and engineering fields, especially in the United States, to describe the strength of materials or the load-bearing capacity of structures.
