What is a nanopascal (nPa)?

A nanopascal is an SI derived unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, used to measure extremely small pressures often found in scientific and engineering contexts.

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

It is a pressure unit defined as one long ton-force (2240 pounds-force) applied over one square foot, commonly used in older imperial engineering measurements.

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

Conversion is useful for translating scientific pressure readings into traditional imperial engineering units, especially when working with historical data or legacy documents.
