What does petamol/second [Pmol/s] measure?

Petamol per second measures the flow rate of substance amount equal to 10^15 moles passing a point each second, typically used for very large-scale flows.

When should I use nanomol/second [nmol/s] units?

Nanomol per second units are ideal for quantifying very small molar flow rates such as in biochemical reactions, enzyme kinetics, and microfluidic devices.

Why is the conversion result so large when converting from Pmol/s to nmol/s?

Because 1 petamol/second equals 10^24 nanomol/second, converting from petamol to nanomol produces extremely large numbers due to the scale difference.
