What does 1 Btu (th)/pound/°F represent?

It describes the heat needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Fahrenheit in terms of thermochemical British thermal units.

Is the numerical conversion factor between these units approximate?

No, the tool uses a direct equivalency where 1 Btu (th)/pound/°F equals 1 calorie (th)/gram/°C in specific heat capacity terms.

Can I use this converter for temperature value conversions?

No, this converter is for specific heat capacity only and does not convert temperature differences or absolute temperatures.
