What are Ton-force and Gram-force

Ton-force is a unit of force traditionally used in the imperial system, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. One ton-force long, sometimes known as a long ton-force, is equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a long ton (2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms). It is an immense force unit and is occasionally used to express extreme pressures, such as in hydraulic systems or in industrial equipment.

A gram-force is a metric unit of force defined as the force exerted by gravity on one gram of mass. The standard acceleration due to gravity is used for the calculation, which is 9.80665 meters per second squared. Therefore, one gram-force is equal to 9.80665 millinewtons. This unit is often used in physics and engineering to measure small forces or in the specification of tension and compression in materials testing.

History of Ton-force and Gram-force

A brief history of the conversion from Ton-force long square Inch to Gram-force sq. Centimeter dates back to the industrial revolution when the need for standardizing measurements became crucial. The development of pressure conversion tools helped industries convert different units of force to maintain consistency in engineering specifications and production standards.
