What does gram/calorie (IT) measure?

Gram/calorie (IT) expresses mass required per unit of thermal energy, specifically how many grams produce one International-Table calorie of heat.

Where is pound/Btu (th) commonly used?

Pound per Btu (th) is used in specifying fuel consumption for boilers, furnaces, and thermal systems to indicate pounds of fuel per thermal British thermal unit.

Why convert between gram/calorie (IT) and pound/Btu (th)?

Converting between these units allows comparison and specification of fuel efficiency across metric and imperial systems involving thermal energy consumption.
