What are Ton-force long per square inch and Dyne per square centimeter

A Ton-force long per square inch (tf*in^(-2)) is a unit of pressure using the Imperial system. It measures the force of one long ton (2,240 pounds) exerted over an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly used in engineering and mechanical contexts to express large pressure values or stresses.

A Dyne per square centimeter (dyn*cm^(-2)) is a unit of pressure in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the force of one dyne (a unit of force in the CGS system) applied over an area of one square centimeter. This unit is often used in physics and engineering for smaller pressure measurements.

History of Ton-force long per square inch and Dyne per square centimeter

The conversion from Ton-force long per square inch to Dyne per square centimeter has its roots in the need to bridge traditional Imperial measurements with the CGS system. Initially used by engineers and scientists, this conversion has become a staple in various industries for precise pressure calculations.
