What does kilocalorie (IT)/cubic meter measure?

It measures the energy content per volume, typically used to express the calorific value of gaseous fuels like natural gas or biogas.

What is gallon (US)/horsepower (metric)-hour used for?

It indicates the volume of fuel consumed in US gallons to generate one metric horsepower of power over one hour, useful for assessing engine fuel consumption.

Can this conversion be used for precise fuel consumption estimates?

While helpful for comparisons, actual fuel consumption depends on fuel composition and engine efficiency, so the conversion provides an approximate value.
