What are Ton-force and Break

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, often shortened to 'tonf', is a unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton (2000 pounds) under the influence of Earth's gravity. It is a conventional unit of force in the engineering sector, particularly in the United States, and is used to describe the force produced by mechanical equipment such as presses and jacks.

Definition of Break

The term 'break' in a mechanical context usually refers to the point at which a material or component fails under stress. It is the moment of failure under tensile stress, where the material fractures and separates. This definition can vary based on context, and in some cases, 'break' might refer to a pause or interruption in a process or operation.
