In which industries is this conversion most commonly used?

This conversion is common in polymer processing, lubricant formulation, oil and bitumen characterization, nanotechnology research, and microfluidics.

Why do conversion results have very large numbers?

Because pound-force second per square inch represents a large viscosity scale compared to the tiny picopoise subunit, resulting in large numeric conversion factors.
