Ton-Force (Long) Meter

tf·m (long)

Definition

The ton-force (long) meter is a unit of moment of force based on the long ton (2240 pounds) and meter. It is used in British engineering applications and some international contexts for measuring large torques.

History/Origin

This unit combines the long ton (British imperial unit) with the meter (SI unit), providing a measure for large moment of force values in British engineering and international applications.

Current Use

Used in British engineering, international construction, and heavy machinery for measuring large torques, bending moments, and rotational forces in structural applications and industrial equipment.
