What is an attopascal?

An attopascal is an SI derived pressure unit equal to 10^-18 pascal, used to describe extremely low pressure values.

What does ton-force (long)/square foot represent?

This unit represents one long ton-force applied over one square foot, commonly used in older engineering and heavy industry contexts.

Why are conversions between attopascal and ton-force (long)/square foot so small?

Because attopascal measures pressures at an ultra-low scale and ton-force (long)/square foot applies to much higher pressures, the conversion results in very small values.
