What does 1 Btu (IT)/pound/°C represent?

It measures the heat energy, in Btu (International Table), required to raise one avoirdupois pound of material by one degree Celsius.

When should I convert Btu (IT)/pound/°C to CHU/pound/°C?

Convert when you need to express heat capacity using CHU energy units while keeping mass in pounds and temperature in Celsius.

Are there limitations I should be aware of when using this converter?

Yes, ensure you are using avoirdupois pounds and Celsius degrees consistently and be aware slight differences in unit definitions may affect exact results.
