	Tonnage - LoveToKnow 1911
		Displacement tonnage is that which is invariably used in respect of warships, and is the actual weight of water displaced by the vessel whose tonnage is being dealt 1 Jowett's translation.
		The length for tonnage is measured in a straight line along this deck from the inside of the inner plank at the bow to the inside of the inner plank at the stern, making allowance for the rake, if any, which the midship bow and stern timbers may have in the actual deck.
		The tonnage of these spaces is reckoned, not from the tonnage deck, but from the crown of the space; whilst, if it has previously been reckoned in the gross tonnage, there may be an allowance for the space above the crown, if enclosed for the machinery or for the admission of light and air.

	Tonnage war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tonnage war, however, is a very broad strategy, and does not require that the attacker establish control over any particular area, merely that he is able to sink ships more rapidly than the defender can replace them.
		From about the middle of 1943, however, substantial numbers of American submarines were tasked with disrupting Japanese trade, in particular, with cutting off the flow of oil and other vital materials from the occupied territories of South-east Asia.
		This, too, became a tonnage war, with rapidly building results, and by mid to late 1944 Allied submarines and aircraft were experiencing difficulty in finding targets large enough to justify expending a torpedo on.

	Discovering the limits of press brake tooling
		Using full tonnage over a shorter length would cause a small section to be overloaded, resulting in some degree of upset to the bed, ram, and tooling.
		Assuming the same relationship of press brake tonnage to side frame length, 30 tons per foot is the maximum pressure that ever can be applied to tooling to avoid damage to the press brake for working bend lengths less than 60 percent of the side frame distance.
		The maximum tooling tonnage per inch times the number of inches to be formed equals total allowable tonnage for that particular tool, which for the example 250-ton brake should never exceed 30 U.S. tons.

		Total tonnage training on the other hand places more of a strain on the muscles, producing a tremendous overload on them, so that at first when one goes back to heavy training, the freshly strengthened muscles take some of the strain off the connective tissues, giving them a chance to get stronger.
		Total tonnage on the other hand requires a mindset or will to punish one’s body a little more than last time and pick up the extra ton or whatever the goal is. This type of training is also not without risk though.

	Standard for the tonnage measurement of ships (2000) \| TP 13430 \| Marine Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Measure the tonnage length in a straight line along the upper side of the upper deck from the moulded line of the hull at the stem to the moulded line of the hull at the stern (see Figure 1.22a).
		Note: It is found that the tonnage length taken on the surface or sheer line of the deck, in ships of standard sheer, is sufficiently accurate for the practical purpose of tonnage.
		As an example, a ship with a tonnage length of 50 metres would be divided into 10 equal parts and the two foremost and aftermost parts would be further divided into two equal parts each making a total of 14 parts (15 sections) (see Figure 2.2).

	Cut Smart : Calculating Die Cutting Tonnage
		The question of “how much tonnage will it take to cut this product?” is the most common, and also one of the hardest to answer because of the complexities involved in calculating a perfect number.
		For many diecutters the advantage of knowing how to accurately calculate tonnage needed makes the biggest difference in faster make-readies, and that alone is well worth the effort of knowing how to at least get a good starting number.
		So, this article is not going to give a catch-all formula for determining tonnage for all materials on all press types, with all tools, because there are too many factors involved and nobody would ever use it in real life.

		Cargo spaces to be included in the computation of net tonnage are enclosed spaces appropriated for the transport of cargo which is to be discharged from the ship, provided that such spaces have been included in the computation of gross tonnage.

	Sizing up servo presses: A look at tonnage and energy
		When comparing the technologies, remember that although there are key differences between the press types, the principles of tonnage and energy apply to both.
		Tonnage is the force exerted by the slide against a workpiece (defined as full tonnage rating at a distance above BDC), and energy is the ability to deliver the tonnage required to make the part (commonly measured in inch-tons).
		However, the difference is that in a conventional press, energy (which is created by the motor and stored in the flywheel) decreases as the flywheel slows down.
