What is an attopascal?

An attopascal (aPa) is an SI derived pressure unit equal to 10^-18 pascals, used to denote extremely low pressures.

What does ton-force (short)/sq. foot measure?

It is a non-SI pressure unit representing one short ton-force distributed over one square foot, commonly used in engineering and industrial contexts.

Why convert between such different pressure scales?

Converting from attopascal to ton-force (short)/sq. foot helps translate very small theoretical or computational pressures into customary units used in practical engineering and industrial settings.
