What is kip-force per square inch used for?

It is used to express high stresses and material strengths in structural and materials engineering.

What kinds of pressures are measured in millipascal?

Millipascal is used for very small pressure magnitudes, including microfluidics, MEMS device calibration, and sensitive acoustic measurements.

Why does the conversion between kip-force/square inch and millipascal involve large numbers?

Because kip-force/square inch measures very high pressure and millipascal measures very low pressure, the conversion multiplier is very large.
