Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
