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

Conversion allows engineers and scientists to translate legacy or imperial data into units more commonly used in modern industrial and thermal calculations involving pounds and Celsius.

Is the conversion rate exactly 1 between these units?

The conversion rate is nearly one, specifically 0.9999999999, so values are almost directly interchangeable with minimal rounding differences.

Can this converter be used for scientific research?

It is suitable for engineering and industrial applications but care should be taken with temperature scales and unit consistency when applying it for precise scientific research.
