What is pound-force per square foot used for?

Pound-force per square foot is commonly used in US customary engineering to quantify surface pressures, such as load specifications on floors, roofs, and structural elements.

When is exapascal used?

Exapascal is an SI derived unit for extremely large pressures encountered in astrophysics, high-energy physics, and theoretical studies involving stellar and planetary interiors.

Why might my converted value be very small?

Because pound-force per square foot is a much smaller pressure unit than exapascal, the resulting value after conversion will be a very small number due to the difference in magnitude.
