What does Btu (th)/pound/°R measure?

It measures the specific heat capacity as thermal British thermal units per pound per degree Rankine, indicating heat energy required to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Rankine.

When should I convert from Btu (th)/pound/°R to pound-force foot/pound/°R?

When aligning specific heat values for engineering tasks involving US customary and Imperial units with Rankine temperature scale.

Can I use this conversion for temperature units other than Rankine?

No, this conversion strictly applies to specific heat capacities involving degree Rankine.
