Why convert fuel oil equivalent to calorie (th)?

Converting allows the comparison of volumetric fuel energy to heat units commonly used in older thermochemical data and helps integrate legacy scientific information.

Is calorie (th) still used today?

Calorie (th) is mostly historical and has been replaced by joules, but it remains relevant for interpreting older calorimetry and thermochemical literature.

Can the energy content vary with different fuel oils?

Yes, differences in the exact composition of the reference fuel oil can cause slight energy content variations not captured by a fixed conversion factor.
