What are Ton-force and Gram-force

A 'ton-force' or 'tonne-force' (tf) is a unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton (2,000 pounds or 907.18474 kilograms) under the influence of gravity. The ton-force is primarily used in the United States and is often measured in force per square inch (tf/in²).

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force that is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). Gram-force is a small unit of force and is often used in physics and engineering contexts. When applied to an area, it's measured in gf/cm².

History of Ton-force and Gram-force

The conversion between ton-force per square inch and gram-force per square centimeter has its roots in the need to bridge the gap between imperial and metric units. This conversion is crucial for industries that require precise force measurements across different unit systems, such as engineering and material sciences.
