What does one Standard atmosphere (atm) represent?

It is a pressure unit defined exactly as 101,325 pascals, roughly corresponding to average sea level atmospheric pressure.

Where is Ton-force (short)/sq. inch used?

It is used in industrial contexts like forging, stamping, and press tooling to express large forces on small areas.

Why might this conversion be limited in precision?

Because industrial applications often use rounded values and assumptions regarding gravity and ton definitions vary by region.
