What does one ounce-force inch represent?

It represents the moment produced by a force of one avoirdupois ounce acting through a one-inch lever arm and is used to measure small torques or mechanical work.

What is a ton (explosives) used for?

It is used to express the approximate energy release from detonating one metric ton of TNT, commonly to report explosive yields of bombs or large explosions.

Why are the conversion results so small?

Because ounce-force inch measures very small mechanical energies, while ton (explosives) measures extremely large energy releases, resulting in very tiny equivalent values.
