Ounce-Force to Ton-Force (Metric) Conversion Table
| ounce-force | ton-force (metric) |
|---|
Ounce-Force
Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one ounce under standard gravity, approximately 0.278 Newtons.
History/Origin
The ounce-force originated from the imperial and US customary systems, used historically for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the SI unit.
Current Use
Ounce-force is rarely used today, primarily in legacy systems or specific industries such as aerospace and mechanical engineering where imperial units are still in use, but it has largely been replaced by the Newton in scientific and international contexts.
Ton-Force (Metric)
Ton-force (metric), symbol: tf, is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
History/Origin
The ton-force originated from the need to quantify large forces in engineering and industrial contexts, particularly in the measurement of engine and machinery forces, and has been used in various forms since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Ton-force (metric) is primarily used in engineering, physics, and industrial applications to express large forces, especially in contexts involving heavy machinery, structural analysis, and force calculations within the 'Force' converter category.
