Ton-Force (Long) [tonf (UK)]

The long ton-force (also called the UK ton-force) is a unit of force based on the long ton, traditionally used in the United Kingdom.

A long ton equals 2,240 pounds (lbs).
The long ton-force is the force exerted by a long ton mass under standard gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ tonf (UK)} = 2,240 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 9,964.02 \text{ newtons}

It is used in engineering and industries where the long ton is the standard measure of mass.
This unit is larger than the short ton-force and differs from the metric ton-force.

Kilopound-Force [kipf]

The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

It equals 1,000 pound-force (lbf).
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kipf} = 1,000 \text{ lbf} \approx 4,448.22 \text{ newtons}

The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.
It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.
