What does gram/calorie (th) measure?

Gram/calorie (th) measures the mass of fuel consumed per thermochemical calorie of energy produced, representing a fuel's mass-based efficiency.

What is Btu (th)/pound used for?

Btu (th)/pound expresses the energy content per pound of material using the thermochemical British thermal unit, commonly used for fuel heating value analysis.

How do I convert gram/calorie (th) to Btu (th)/pound?

Multiply the value in gram/calorie (th) by 1.8 to get the equivalent in Btu (th)/pound.

Why must thermochemical definitions be consistent in these conversions?

Different calorie or Btu definitions affect conversion accuracy, so consistent use of thermochemical definitions ensures correctness.
