What are Ton-force long square Inch and Kip-force square Inch

A Ton-force long per square inch is a unit of pressure using the Imperial system of units. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one long ton-force (2,240 pounds-force) on an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly used in engineering and mechanics for measuring stresses in materials and pressure in various applications.

A Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure that is a combination of the kilopound-force (kip) unit of force and the square inch unit of area. It represents the pressure exerted by a force of one thousand pounds-force (kip) applied over an area of one square inch. This measurement is used in engineering fields, especially structural engineering, to quantify stress or pressure.

History of Ton-force long square Inch and Kip-force square Inch
