What are ton-force and ksi

Definition of ton-force

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force that equates to 2,000 pounds-force (lbf) within the Imperial and US customary systems. It's often used in industries such as engineering and construction to describe a large amount of force generated or sustained by machinery, structures, or materials.

Definition of ksi

Ksi is a unit of pressure and stress, representing a thousand pounds-force per square inch. It's widely used in materials science and engineering to quantify the tensile strength, yield strength, and overall stress that can be withstood by materials such as metals and alloys before deformation or failure occurs.
