What does poundal second per square foot measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity as an imperial unit, quantifying fluid resistance to shear flow with a force applied over time per unit area.

When should I use attopoise as a viscosity unit?

Attopoise is suited for expressing extremely small viscosities encountered in molecular and nanoscale scientific research.

Why do conversion results from poundal second/square foot to attopoise yield very large numbers?

Because poundal second/square foot is a large imperial unit, and attopoise represents extremely small viscosities, resulting in large numeric conversion factors.
