What is a millimeter water (4°C) unit?

It is the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, used for measuring very small pressures.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. foot commonly used?

It is a customary unit for specifying load limits and bearing pressures in ships, warehouses, civil engineering, and heavy machinery.

Why might the converted values be very small decimals?

Because millimeter water (4°C) measures very low pressures and ton-force (short)/sq. foot represents much larger pressure values, resulting in small decimal conversion results.
