Discover the ease of converting ton-force long per square inch to pounds per square inch (psi) with our intuitive tf long/in² to psi converter, designed to simplify your calculations.
A ton-force long per square inch (tf long/in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one long ton (2,240 pounds) acting on an area of one square inch. It's a British and imperial unit not commonly used in scientific contexts but still found in certain industries like shipping and manufacturing.
Definition of PsiPsi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure widely used in various fields such as engineering, automotive, and science. It measures the amount of force applied in pounds on one square inch of an area. Psi is a crucial unit for understanding the stress on materials and for ensuring safety in pressure-dependent systems.

Example 1:
Convert 0.1 tf long/in² to psi:
0.1 tf long/in² = 0.1 × 2240 lbs/in² = 2420.75 psi
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 tf long/in² to psi:
0.5 tf long/in² = 0.5 × 2240 lbs/in² = 121037.64 psi
The ton-force long per square inch to psi converter has a storied history, tracing back to the industrial era. Initially used in the United Kingdom, it served a critical role in industries where measuring large forces was essential. Over time, as the psi became more internationally recognized, the need for a reliable converter became apparent, leading to the creation of tools like the one we offer today.
