How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in ton-force (long) [tonf (UK)] to be converted
  • Select poundal [pdl] as the target force unit
  • Click 'Convert' to see the equivalent force in poundals
  • Review the conversion result and use it for your analysis or calculations

Key Features

  • Converts ton-force (long) [tonf (UK)] to poundal [pdl] accurately based on established conversion rates
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions
  • Supports use cases in historical crane ratings, classical mechanics, and legacy engineering data
  • Provides clear examples for practical application
  • Ideal for translating imperial force units to FPS system units

Examples

  • 2 ton-force (long) equals 144139.737532622 poundal
  • 0.5 ton-force (long) equals 36034.9343831555 poundal

Common Use Cases

  • Rating lifting capacities of older British cranes and presses measured in long tons
  • Analyzing historical naval and shipbuilding force data recorded in long tons
  • Converting legacy engineering specifications from ton-force (long) to FPS units for modern design

  • Consider the limitations of the uncommon nature of poundal in modern practice

Limitations

  • Ton-force (long) is an imperial-era unit and may not be familiar to contemporary engineers
  • Poundal units are rarely used today, mostly relevant to historical and educational contexts
  • Accuracy depends on consistent adoption of the defined standard gravity and unit conventions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one ton-force (long) [tonf (UK)] represent?
It is the force equal to the weight of one long ton (2,240 pounds avoirdupois) under standard gravity, approximately 9,964 newtons.

What is a poundal and when is it used?
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot–pound–second system that produces an acceleration of 1 foot per second squared on a 1-pound mass, mainly used in classical mechanics and legacy engineering systems.

Why convert from ton-force (long) to poundal?
Converting helps translate imperial-era force values based on heavy loads into FPS units used in classical mechanics or legacy technical contexts, facilitating analysis and comparison.

Key Terminology

Ton-force (long) [tonf (UK)]
An imperial-era force unit equal to the weight of one long ton (2,240 pounds avoirdupois) under standard gravity.
Poundal [pdl]
A force unit in the FPS system defined as the force causing an acceleration of 1 foot per second squared on a mass of one pound.
Foot–pound–second (FPS) system
A system of units used in classical mechanics, with units of feet for length, pounds for mass, and seconds for time.
