Discover the ease of converting lbf/in² to inH2O with our Ton-force long square Inch to Inch Water 60 Degree Fahrenheit Converter. Curated by Newtum, this tool ensures precision in every conversion you need.
Ton-force, often abbreviated as tf, is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by one ton of mass under the influence of standard gravity. Specifically, a long ton-force is defined as exactly 2,240 pounds of force. It is a British measurement and not commonly used in the United States, where the short ton (2,000 pounds-force) is more prevalent. Ton-force takes into account the gravitational force on mass, making it a measure of weight rather than mass.
Definition of Inch WaterInch Water, or inches of water column, is a non-SI unit for pressure. It is based on the pressure exerted by a one-inch high column of water at a specified temperature (usually 60 degrees Fahrenheit). It is a unit commonly used in the United States for measuring low differential pressures, particularly in the HVAC and meteorological fields. One inch of water is equivalent to approximately 0.0361 psi (pounds per square inch) or 2.4908 millibars.
