What are Ton-force short sq. Inch and Gigapascal

A ton-force short per square inch (tonf/in² or TSI) is a unit of pressure based on avoirdupois (short) ton force applied over one square inch area. This measurement is primarily used in the United States and is equivalent to approximately 15.4443 megapascals (MPa).

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure or stress within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one billion pascals, where a pascal is defined as one newton of force applied over one square meter. The GPa is commonly used to express the elastic modulus of materials, indicating their stiffness.
