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 Inch [pdl·in]


Poundal inch (pdl·in) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force produced when one poundal of force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one inch from the axis of rotation. A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Poundal inch is particularly useful for small-scale mechanical systems, precision engineering, and educational applications where forces and torques are relatively low and distances are short. A higher pdl·in value indicates greater torque and more resistance to rotation, while a lower value means the object rotates more easily. Engineers and students use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy in miniature machinery, experimental setups, or theoretical problems. By linking force and rotational distance in inches, poundal inch provides a practical and precise measure for understanding and managing rotational dynamics in compact or small-scale mechanical systems.
