What's the conversion factor to get psi from the tons per square inch the British use? Yeah, I know, this is pathetic--but all my reference books are at home!

Mathamaticly for example 14 tons is the standard for double rifles thus 2000 Lbs being one ton x 14 = 28,000 lbs per square inch and thats close enough for Govt. work. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Weren't the Brits using the imperial ton? Is that correct? 1 imperial ton = 2240 lbs (called a long ton in the US) So in Rays example, it would be 14 x 2,240 for 31,360 psi -Bob F. | |||
