What are Ton-force long square Inch and Kilogram-force sq. Millimeter

A Ton-force long square inch, often abbreviated as lbf/in², is a unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by one long ton-force spread evenly over an area of one square inch. A long ton-force is equivalent to 2,240 pounds-force, making this a unit that combines imperial measurements of weight (tons) and area (inches²).

Kilogram-force per square millimeter, denoted as kgf/mm², is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force (the force of gravity on one kilogram of mass) on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters.
