Ton-force (long)
tonf (UK)
Definition
Ton-force (long) represents the gravitational force exerted on a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity conditions. It equals approximately 9,964 Newtons and is used for measuring very large forces in industrial and engineering applications, particularly in the United Kingdom.
History/Origin
Ton-force (long) emerged as a practical unit for expressing large forces in industrial applications, particularly in the United Kingdom. It was particularly useful in heavy industry, mining, and construction where forces are measured in tons. The long ton version became standardized in the UK.
Current Use
Used in heavy industry for measuring large forces, such as in mining equipment, construction machinery, and industrial presses. Common in shipbuilding and offshore engineering in the United Kingdom. Used in some UK engineering standards and specifications for large-scale applications.

Gram-force
gf
Definition
Gram-force is a unit of force based on the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one gram. It represents the weight of one gram under standard gravity conditions. This unit is useful for measuring small forces in laboratory settings and precision applications.
History/Origin
Gram-force originated from the need to express forces in terms of familiar mass units. It was commonly used before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the standard force unit. The unit relates directly to the gravitational force experienced by a gram mass under Earth's gravity.
Current Use
Used in laboratory settings for measuring small forces, particularly in chemistry and physics experiments. Common in precision instruments and micro-measurements. Still used in some engineering applications where small force measurements are required, such as in material testing and calibration.
