Why do I need to convert Btu (IT)/pound/°C to kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/K?

Converting between these units allows compatibility with metric-based systems widely used in international engineering and HVAC applications.

Is the conversion factor constant for all materials?

Yes, the conversion factor applies universally since it relates to unit definitions rather than material properties.

Can the tool handle temperature scales correctly during conversion?

Users should ensure temperature intervals are interpreted properly since °C and K scales are used in the respective units.
