Metric Ton-force per Square Centimeter Unit | All you need to know

The metric ton-force per square centimeter (symbol: tf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one metric ton-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. One metric ton-force is the force produced by a mass of 1,000 kilograms under standard gravity. This unit has been used in structural engineering, heavy machinery, and material testing, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is based on the ton-force.

One metric ton-force per square centimeter is equal to 98,066,500 pascals, 98.0665 megapascals, 980.665 bars, 14,223.3 pounds per square inch, and 1,000 kilogram-force per square centimeter. This unit is mainly encountered in heavy engineering and legacy specifications.
