Ton-Force (Long) Meter [tonf·m]
Ton-force (long) meter (tonf·m) is a unit of torque that measures rotational force when one long ton-force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation. A long ton-force, used mainly in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries, equals 2,240 pounds-force. This unit is particularly useful in heavy engineering, construction, and industrial applications where large forces are involved, such as cranes, large machinery, turbines, and structural components. A higher tonf·m value indicates a stronger rotational force and greater ability to generate torque or angular acceleration, while a lower value signifies less force. Engineers and designers use this unit to calculate torque requirements, optimize mechanical performance, and ensure system stability and safety under high loads. By linking substantial force to rotational distance, ton-force meter provides a practical and accurate measure for analyzing, designing, and managing rotational dynamics in large-scale mechanical and industrial systems.
