What does Btu (IT)/pound/°C measure?

It measures specific heat capacity as the amount of heat in International Table Btu needed to raise one avoirdupois pound of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert to Calorie (IT)/gram/°F?

Converting to Calorie (IT)/gram/°F helps interpret older engineering or steam-table data presented in legacy units using grams and Fahrenheit.

Is the conversion factor fixed?

Yes, the conversion from 1 Btu (IT)/pound/°C equals 0.5555555556 Calorie (IT)/gram/°F based on unit definitions.
