What is a terapascal?

A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^12 pascals, used to measure extremely large pressures in physics and planetary science.

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

Ton-force (long)/square inch expresses pressure as the weight of one long ton distributed over one square inch, an Imperial unit used historically in British engineering.

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

Converting from terapascal to ton-force (long)/square inch helps interpret high pressures in legacy Imperial units, useful for comparing or updating old engineering documents.
