What is a nanopascal used for?

A nanopascal is used to express extremely small pressures, often in scientific fields such as space physics and ultra-high vacuum system monitoring.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. inch commonly applied?

Ton-force (short)/sq. inch is typically used in industrial applications like forging, stamping, and describing pressure in hydraulic presses and tooling.

Why is the conversion between these units challenging?

Because nanopascal measures extremely small pressures and ton-force (short)/sq. inch represents large industrial pressures, the wide difference in scale requires careful handling of numeric precision.
