What units does this converter handle?

It converts specific heat capacity values between calorie (IT) per gram per degree Fahrenheit and kilocalorie (IT) per kilogram per degree Celsius.

Why is this conversion important?

It helps align legacy or older engineering thermal data with modern SI-based unit standards for accurate heat capacity calculations.

Can this tool be used for highly precise scientific experiments?

No, the conversion assumes an established rate and is not meant for applications requiring extreme precision or quantum-level accuracy.
