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

It represents pressure based on the force of one long ton spread over one square inch, commonly used in historical British engineering contexts.

Why use inch water (4°C) as a pressure unit?

Inch water (4°C) is used for low-pressure measurements requiring fine resolution, such as HVAC systems and laboratory settings.

How do I convert ton-force (long)/square inch to inch water (4°C)?

Multiply the pressure value in ton-force (long)/square inch by 62,004.706629532 to get the equivalent in inch water (4°C) [inAq].

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure from ton-force (long) per square inch, a historic British Imperial unit, into inch water (4°C) [inAq], a unit measuring low pressure based on the height of a water column at 4°C. It helps translate large legacy pressure values to a finer scale used in modern applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value expressed in ton-force (long) per square inch
Select ton-force (long)/square inch as the input unit
Choose inch water (4°C) [inAq] as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent pressure
Review the converted result, reflecting the pressure in inch water (4°C)

Key Features

Converts large imperial pressure units into precise low-pressure units
Browser-based and easy to use without installing software
Supports pressure conversions relevant to engineering and industrial tasks
Handles legacy measurements from old British machinery and systems
Outputs results suitable for HVAC, laboratory, and industrial pressure testing

Examples

2 ton-force (long)/square inch converts to 124,009.41 inch water (4°C) [inAq]
0.5 ton-force (long)/square inch converts to 31,002.35 inch water (4°C) [inAq]

Common Use Cases

Updating old British engineering specifications involving bearing or contact pressures
Translating industrial press and forging equipment ram pressures into modern units
Converting legacy imperial pressure values to SI or fine low-pressure scales
Measuring fine differential pressures in HVAC, filtration, and cleanroom systems
Performing sensitive lab pressure readings and gas line tests

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the context of pressure values before converting legacy units
Use the tool to assist with precision conversions for industrial and lab settings
Be cautious when converting very high pressures due to numeric scale size
Combine this conversion with SI units for comprehensive engineering analysis
Review converted values carefully when updating historic machinery designs

Limitations

Ton-force (long)/square inch is a legacy, large unit less common in modern use
Inch water (4°C) is designed for low pressures and may not suit very high values
Large converted numbers might exceed typical instrument measurement ranges
Precision depends on context; users must consider engineering applicability
