What does grain/cubic foot measure?

Grain per cubic foot measures mass density representing one grain of mass per cubic foot of volume, often used to quantify moisture content or particulate density.

Where is gram per cubic millimeter commonly used?

Gram per cubic millimeter is commonly used to describe densities of micro-scale components and tiny samples in microfabrication, MEMS, and material science.

Why might conversions from grain/cubic foot to gram/cubic millimeter yield very small numbers?

Because gram per cubic millimeter represents mass density in very small volumes, converting from grain per cubic foot results in very small equivalent density values.
