Ton-force (short)
tonf
Definition
Ton-force (short) represents the gravitational force exerted on a short ton (2,000 pounds) under standard gravity conditions. It equals approximately 8,896 Newtons and is used for measuring very large forces in industrial and engineering applications, particularly in the United States.
History/Origin
Ton-force (short) emerged as a practical unit for expressing large forces in industrial applications, particularly in the United States. It was particularly useful in heavy industry, mining, and construction where forces are measured in tons. The short ton version became standardized in the US.
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 States. Used in some US engineering standards and specifications for large-scale applications.

Ounce-force
ozf
Definition
Ounce-force represents the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one ounce under standard gravity conditions. It equals approximately 0.278 Newtons and is commonly used for measuring small forces in engineering applications, particularly in the United States.
History/Origin
Ounce-force was widely used in engineering for measuring small forces before the Newton became the standard SI unit. It provided an intuitive way to express forces in terms of familiar mass units. The unit was particularly popular in US engineering practices and remains in use in many applications.
Current Use
Still used in engineering applications for measuring small forces, particularly in the United States. Common in mechanical engineering for small torque specifications and in precision applications. Used in material testing and in some industrial processes where small forces are measured.
