What are Ton-force and Atmosphere

Ton-force is a unit of force traditionally used in the engineering field, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is equivalent to the force exerted by one short ton (2,000 pounds) under the influence of Earth's gravity. It is a non-SI unit but remains in use due to its practicality in certain applications, such as in machinery and automotive industries.

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to the pressure exerted by a 1-centimeter-high column of mercury at 0°C at sea level. It is a standard unit of pressure used in various scientific contexts. Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is roughly 1 atm, which is equivalent to 101,325 pascals or 14.696 psi.

History of Ton-force and Atmosphere

The concept of ton-force emerged from the need to quantify large forces in engineering, particularly in press machinery and automotive design. Over time, the conversion to atmospheric pressure units became crucial for various scientific calculations, leading to the development of Ton-force short sq. Foot to Atmosphere Technical Converters.
