Ton-Force (Short) Meter [tonf·m]


Ton-force (short) meter (tonf·m) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force produced when one short ton-force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation. A short ton-force, commonly used in the United States, equals 2,000 pounds-force. This unit is useful in large-scale engineering, construction, and industrial applications where substantial forces are involved, such as cranes, heavy machinery, and structural components. A higher tonf·m value indicates greater rotational force and the ability to generate more torque or angular acceleration, while a lower value represents less force. Engineers use this unit to calculate torque requirements, optimize mechanical performance, and ensure safety and stability in systems subjected to high loads. By combining large force and rotational distance, ton-force meter provides a practical and precise measure for analyzing, designing, and managing rotational dynamics in heavy-duty mechanical and industrial applications.

Poundal Foot [pdl·ft]


Poundal foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force applied when one poundal of force is exerted perpendicularly at a distance of one foot from the axis of rotation. A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Poundal foot is mainly used in classical mechanics and engineering calculations involving small-scale or theoretical systems in the FPS system. A higher pdl·ft value indicates greater torque and resistance to rotational motion, while a lower value represents less force. Engineers and physicists use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy in mechanical systems, ensuring proper design, efficiency, and stability. By linking force and rotational distance, poundal foot provides a practical measure for analyzing and managing torque in mechanical, experimental, and educational applications.
