What does femtopascal measure?

Femtopascal measures extremely low pressures, typically used in scientific and astrophysical contexts.

When is ton-force (long)/square foot used?

It is used primarily in imperial engineering contexts such as foundation bearing pressure estimates and shipbuilding load specifications.

Why do converted values appear very small?

Because femtopascal represents ultra-small pressures while ton-force (long)/square foot represents much larger pressures, conversions produce very small numerical results.
