Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square inch originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts. It has been used historically in fields such as material testing and hydraulic systems.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by the more standard unit of pressure, the pound per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy documents or specific industrial applications where imperial units are preferred.
