What are Psi and Ton-force

Definition of Psi

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure expressing the amount of force applied over one square inch of an area. One psi equals the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. It's commonly used in various fields such as automotive, industrial, and scientific measurements to gauge the pressure exerted by fluids or gases.

Definition of Ton-force

A Ton-force, specifically the short ton-force, is a unit of force commonly used in the United States. It represents the force created by one short ton (2,000 pounds) under the influence of standard gravity. The unit is used to express large force values, particularly in construction, engineering, and materials testing, where it's imperative to understand the load-bearing capacity of structures.
