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

It measures pressure as one long ton-force applied over one square foot, commonly used in older engineering and heavy industry.

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

To translate large, historically or regionally used pressure units into precise SI-derived units for accurate scientific and engineering analysis.

Is millipascal used for large pressure measurements?

No, millipascal measures very small pressure magnitudes, often in microfluidics or acoustic calibration contexts.
