Convert pound force to tonne force, abbreviated as lbf to tf. This is based formula: 1 pound force = 0.0004536 tonne force, under this rule, pound forces can be easily converted into tonne forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
Pound of force is used in the system of measurement including English Engineering unit and foot-pound-system. Foot-pound and pound force are two separate units, avoid mixing these two.
The force which is applied on an object of mass of one pound at the rate of 32.174 ft/s is called one pound force. It is equal to the gravitational force that is applied on the one pound mass of object on this earth planet. This is very helpful because experiments have shown that gravitational force on one pound mass of object is equal to the one pound force.
The value of gravitational force is taken as 9.87 meter per square second.
Pound force is often represented with lb whereas force that is applied on one pound gram of object is represented with lbf.
There are multiple units of force, ton is one of them. It’s defined as the weight of one ton due to a standard gravity applied. The exact definition varies with the ton used.
One ton is the force that is applied on weight of one ton.
It’s represented with ton-force. Abbreviated as tf.
If you want to know how to convert pound force to tonne force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Pound Force to Tonne Force formula is:
1 Pound Force = 0.0004536 tonne force
Or convert the formula:
1 tonne force = 2204.6226209 pound force
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 pound force equal to 0.0004536 tonne force. To convert pound forces to tonne forces, just multiply pound force by 0.0004536 or divide by 2204.6226209 .
For example, convert 1000 lbf to tf
1000 lbf = 1000 × 0.0004536 tf = 0.4536 tf
or
1000 ÷ 2204.6226209 = 0.4536 tf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert pound force to tonne force.
