(Redirected from Short ton-force)
A ton-force is one of various units of force defined as the weight of one ton due to standard gravity.[note 1] The precise definition depends on the definition of ton used.
Tonne-force
The tonne-force (tf or tf)[note 2] is equal to the weight of one tonne.
-
one tonne-force = 1000 kilograms-force (kgf) = 9.80665 kilonewtons (kN) ≈ 2204.622 pounds-force (lbf)[note 3] ≈ 0.9842065 long tons-force[note 4] ≈ 1.1023113 short tons-force[note 5] ≈ 70931.64 poundals (pdl)[note 6]
Long ton-force
The long ton-force is equal to the weight of one long ton.
-
one long ton-force = 2240 lbf = 1016.0469088 kgf = 9.96401641818352 kN = 1.12 short tons-force[note 7] ≈ 72069.87 pdl[note 8]
Short ton-force
The short ton-force is equal to the weight of one short ton.
-
one short ton-force = 2000 lbf = 907.18474 kgf = 8.896443230521 kN ≈ 0.892857 long tons-force[note 9] ≈ 64348.10 pdl[note 10]
