What does dekapascal [daPa] measure?

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

Where is ton-force (long)/square inch commonly used?

It is a legacy Imperial unit used historically in British engineering, especially for heavy machinery and ship fittings.

Why convert from dekapascal to ton-force (long)/square inch?

Converting helps translate low-range metric pressures into legacy units when working with older engineering documents or industrial equipment.
