What is a poundal foot?

A poundal foot is a unit of energy in the FPS system equal to the work done by one poundal force acting through one foot of displacement.

What does a kiloelectron-volt measure?

A kiloelectron-volt measures energy at the atomic and subatomic scale, commonly used in atomic, nuclear, and radiation physics.

Why are the converted values from pdl*ft to keV so large?

Because the kiloelectron-volt is a very small energy unit, converting from poundal foot results in very large numerical values.
