What are Psi and Ton-force

Definition of Psi

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used in various measurement systems. It represents the pressure exerted by one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. Widely used in the United States, psi is integral in industries like automotive, aviation, and construction for measuring tire pressure, engine performance, and material strength.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, often referred to as a ton of force, is a measurement of force. It's commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One ton-force corresponds to the force created by a one-ton mass under standard gravity conditions. This unit is significant in industries such as shipping, construction, and mechanical engineering, where heavy loads and pressures are prevalent.
