What does kilojoule per cubic meter represent?

It quantifies the amount of energy in kilojoules contained within one cubic meter of a substance, often used to denote fuel energy density.

Why convert kilojoule per cubic meter to Btu per cubic foot?

Because different regions and industries use different measurement systems, converting ensures compatibility for billing, combustion, and equipment design.

Does this conversion consider gas conditions like temperature and pressure?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and ideal gas behavior; specific environmental factors need separate consideration.
