What are Pound-force per square inch and Ton-force per short square foot

Definition of Pound-force per square inch

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure or stress in the Imperial and US customary systems. It equates to the pressure or stress that arises from one pound-force applied uniformly over an area of one square inch. This measurement is widely used in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial systems to quantify pressure levels.

Definition of Ton-force per short square foot

Ton-force per short square foot is a unit of pressure used primarily in the United States. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a short ton-force (2000 pounds-force) distributed over an area of one square foot. This unit is crucial in industries where heavy load distribution over surfaces is analyzed, like in construction and material science.
