What does kilocalorie (IT)/cubic meter measure?

It measures the energy content per volume of gaseous fuel, indicating how much energy is present in one cubic meter of fuel.

Why convert to Btu (IT)/cubic foot?

Btu (IT)/cubic foot is commonly used in North American industries and utilities to express energy content in units that align with Imperial volume measurements.

Are temperature and pressure factors important in conversion?

Yes, volumetric measurements depend on temperature and pressure, so corrections may be necessary for accurate energy comparisons.
