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

Definition of Ton-force short sq. Inch

Ton-force per square inch, abbreviated as tfi, is a unit of pressure used in the United States customary system. It is defined as the force of one short ton (2000 pounds) exerted on one square inch of area. This measurement is commonly used in industries such as mechanical engineering and hydraulics to express large pressure values in a comprehensible way.

Definition of Kilogram-force sq. Millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram of force acting on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is particularly used in material science and engineering fields to quantify stress, tensile strength, and yield strength of materials.
