Frequently Asked Questions

What does one ton-force (short) meter represent?
It is a torque unit produced by a force of one short ton-force (2000 pounds-force) applied at one meter perpendicular distance.

Why convert from ton-force (short) meter to poundal foot?
This conversion helps interpret torque values in traditional imperial units, useful for legacy engineering data and historical analyses.

Are there any challenges converting between these units?
Yes, due to different measurement systems and the rarity of poundal-foot usage, conversions must be handled with care to avoid errors.

Key Terminology

Ton-force (short) meter
A torque unit equal to the moment produced by a force of one short ton-force applied at a distance of one metre.
Poundal foot [pdl*ft]
An imperial unit of moment of force where one poundal force is applied at a lever arm of one foot.
Torque
A measure of the moment of force causing an object to rotate about an axis.
