Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert from ton-force (metric) to nanonewton?
To translate large forces common in heavy industry into very small forces used in microscale scientific applications, allowing for comparison and calibration.

Is ton-force (metric) an SI unit?
No, ton-force (metric) is a non-SI unit defined by the force exerted by one metric tonne under standard gravity.

What is a nanonewton used for?
Nanonewtons measure extremely small forces, such as those encountered in MEMS sensors, microactuators, and biological adhesion studies.

Key Terminology

Ton-force (metric) [tf]
A non-SI force unit equal to the force from one metric tonne under standard gravity, equivalent to 9,806.65 newtons.
Nanonewton [nN]
An SI-derived unit measuring extremely small forces, equal to 10^-9 newtons, commonly used in micro- and nanoscale contexts.
Standard Gravity
The constant acceleration due to gravity used to define force units, standardized for conversion calculations.
