What does 1 picopoise equal in pound-force second per square inch?

One picopoise corresponds to approximately 1.4503773773021e-17 pound-force second per square inch.

Why are the converted values often extremely small?

Because picopoise measures ultra-low viscosities and pound-force second per square inch applies to very thick fluids, the numerical values differ drastically in magnitude.
