Why is the Deuteron mass conversion result so small?

Because the Deuteron mass measures an atomic nuclei mass, converting it to large units like kilotons results in very small numerical values.

Can kiloton always be interpreted as a mass unit?

No, in some contexts, especially explosives, kiloton refers to an energy equivalent, so it is important to confirm the intended meaning.

What fields commonly use this conversion?

It is used mainly in nuclear physics, fusion research, mass spectrometry, industrial mass reporting, astrophysics, and geophysics.
