1260.17 kgf/cm2 (voor Uk tons) of 1124.68 kgf/cm2 (voor US tons) Explanation: Volgens mijn Desk Companion (The Economist) geldt: 0.984 UK tons = 1 metric ton (1 tonne), en 1 US ton (net or short) = 0.907 metric tons (oftewel tonnes). 1 UK ton is dus 1000/0.984 kg. Als je uitgaat van UK tons, kun je als volgt omrekenen: 8 tons force / inch2 = 8 x (1000/0.984) x (1/2.54^2) = 1260.17 kgf/cm2 (waarbij inch2 betekent 'square inch', ^ betekent 'tot de macht 2' en kgf betekent 'kilogramkracht'). Als je uitgaat van US tons, kun je als volgt omrekenen: 8 tons force / inch2 = 8 x 907 x (1/2.54^2) = 1124.68 kgf/cm2 hetgeen aardig overeenkomt met de uitkomst van het conversieprogramma van Erik. Take your pick, Antoinette ;-) |
