What does calorie (IT)/gram/°F represent?

It is a unit of specific heat capacity defining the energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of material by one degree Fahrenheit using the International-Table calorie.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/gram/°F to calorie (th)/gram/°C?

This conversion standardizes data by unifying different calorie definitions and temperature scales, helping accurate analysis and comparison across various scientific disciplines.

Is the conversion factor always exact for all temperatures?

No, the conversion assumes temperature intervals are properly converted, and some minimal discrepancies may occur due to differences between International-Table and thermochemical calorie definitions.
