Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 ton-force (long) meter represent?
It is a unit of moment representing one long ton-force (2240 pounds-force) applied at a distance of one metre.

When should I use poundal foot units?
Poundal foot units are used in calculations based on the English engineering system, particularly in legacy specifications and mechanical notes.

Is this conversion suitable for precise scientific calculations?
While useful for engineering contexts, caution is advised for very precise calculations due to rounding errors and different unit scales.

Key Terminology

Ton-force (long) meter
A moment of force unit representing one long ton-force applied perpendicularly at one metre, mainly used in large-scale imperial engineering contexts.
Poundal foot [pdl*ft]
A moment of force unit equal to one poundal of force applied at one foot, used in English engineering systems and legacy torque calculations.
Moment of Force (Torque)
The tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, calculated as force times perpendicular lever arm distance.
