What does petagram per liter (Pg/L) measure?

Petagram per liter measures mass density as one petagram of mass distributed per liter of volume, suitable for extremely high-density situations.

Where is slug per cubic foot (slug/ft³) commonly used?

Slug per cubic foot is used in aerospace, fluid dynamics, naval, and engineering contexts within the US customary unit framework.

Why is the conversion factor between Pg/L and slug/ft³ so large?

Because petagram per liter represents extremely dense mass concentrations, while slug per cubic foot expresses much smaller scale densities, resulting in a very large conversion number.
