What does ksi stand for?

Ksi stands for kilopound per square inch, a non-SI unit of pressure used mainly in engineering to express stress values.

When should I use femtopascal units?

Femtopascal units are used to measure extremely low pressures, such as ultra-high vacuum conditions in physics or gas pressures in space science.

Why are the converted values so large?

Because 1 femtopascal is 10 to the minus 15 pascals, converting from ksi results in very large numerical values due to the scale difference.
