What is a dekapascal (daPa)?

A dekapascal (daPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 10 pascals, measuring force per unit area.

What does ton-force (long)/square foot represent?

It is an imperial pressure unit representing one long ton-force applied over one square foot, approximately equal to 1.07252×10^5 pascals.

Why convert from daPa to ton-force (long)/square foot?

To translate low-pressure measurements commonly used in scientific contexts into older imperial units relevant to heavy industry and civil engineering.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct input units before conversion to avoid errors
Use this tool when working with pressure values that span SI and imperial systems
Cross-check converted values when precision is critical due to unit scale differences
Interpret results carefully when dealing with very low pressures
Confirm regional unit definitions to maintain consistency

Limitations

Ton-force (long)/square foot is large compared to daPa and less suited for very small pressures
Conversion may introduce rounding errors at low-pressure values typical for daPa
Regional differences in long ton definitions require careful unit confirmation
