What does calorie (IT)/cubic centimeter measure?

It measures volumetric energy density, indicating how much energy is contained in one cubic centimeter of a material using the International Table calorie.

Why convert calorie (IT)/cc to megajoule/m³?

Because megajoule per cubic meter is an SI-derived unit widely used in engineering for standardized comparison and calculations of energy content.

Does the conversion factor change with conditions?

No, the provided factor assumes standard conditions; volumetric energy densities can vary with temperature and pressure outside those conditions.
