What does 1 Standard atmosphere represent?

It is a pressure unit defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

In what scenarios is ton-force (short)/sq. foot used?

It is used for specifying floor and deck loading limits, bearing pressures in civil engineering, and contact pressures in heavy machinery.

Why should I be cautious using this conversion internationally?

Because ton-force (short)/sq. foot is a customary non-SI unit and may have less precision and common usage outside some countries.
