What are Ton-force short sq. Inch and Kilogram-force sq. Cm

A Ton-force short per square inch (tf/in²) is a unit of pressure using the United States customary units. It is defined as one short ton-force (2,000 pounds-force) applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is often used in industrial and mechanical applications, where large forces and pressures are typically measured.

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure, which is defined as the force of one kilogram-force (kgf) acting on an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit is commonly used in engineering fields, especially in some countries that utilize the metric system, to quantify tensile strength, material resistance, and hydraulic pressure.
