Ton-Force (Short)

The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.

• 
  

  A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).

  
  
• 
  

  The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.

  
  
• 
  

  Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.

  
  

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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.
