What is a pound-force square second per foot?

It is an imperial mass unit equal to the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² under a force of 1 pound-force; it is equivalent to the slug.

Why convert pound-force square second per foot to grams?

Converting to grams provides a standardized SI mass unit useful in scientific work, smaller mass measurements, and places where metric is preferred.

Are there any limitations to using this conversion?

Yes, the unit is uncommon outside US customary contexts, results in large numbers in grams, and precision depends on the conversion factor used.
