Discover the ease of converting ton-force long per square inch to gigapascals (GPa) with our intuitive tool, designed to provide precise conversions with a few clicks.
A ton-force long per square inch (tonf/in² or tf/in²) is a unit of pressure. It is defined as one long ton-force exerted over an area of one square inch. Traditionally used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries, it is a measure of force per unit area, indicating how much force is applied over a specific area.
Definition of GigapascalA gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to 1,000,000,000 pascals or 1,000 megapascals. The gigapascal measures immense pressures and is commonly used in scientific contexts, such as materials science and engineering, to express the stiffness or compressive strength of materials.
