What is a hectopascal (hPa)?

A hectopascal (hPa) is a metric pressure unit equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to express air pressure.

When would I use ton-force (long)/square foot?

This unit is typically employed in historical engineering, shipbuilding, and heavy industry contexts where long tons are used for specifying pressure or load.

Can I use this converter for aviation purposes?

Yes, converting from hPa to ton-force (long)/square foot can help bridge atmospheric pressure data for aviation briefings and altimeter settings in imperial units.
