What are Ton-force long per square inch and Megapascal

Definition of Ton-force long per square inch

Ton-force long per square inch is a unit of pressure. It represents the amount of force in long tons exerted over one square inch of area. This measure is part of the British Imperial System, often used in engineering and mechanical applications to describe pressures in terms of weight per area.

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a metric unit of pressure or stress. It is equivalent to one million Pascals and is widely used in materials science and engineering. The MPa helps to express the tensile strength, elasticity, and stiffness of materials, critical in construction and manufacturing sectors.
