What does Btu (th)/pound/°F measure?

It measures the amount of thermochemical British thermal units needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Fahrenheit.

When should I use pound-force foot/pound/°R?

This unit is useful for heat-balance calculations and thermodynamic tables using Rankine and Fahrenheit scales, especially in power plant and steam system engineering.

Is this conversion valid in SI metric calculations?

No, this conversion applies only in Imperial and US customary units and is uncommon in SI-based scientific contexts.
