What does Btu (IT)/pound/°F measure?

It measures specific heat capacity as the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Fahrenheit, commonly used in US customary and engineering contexts.

Why convert to calorie (th)/gram/°C?

Because calorie (th)/gram/°C is a standard unit in scientific laboratories and thermal property studies, enabling consistent comparison across different measurement systems.

Is the conversion exact for all substances?

No, the conversion assumes standard heat capacity values and does not consider material-specific variations beyond heat capacity.
