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

It measures specific heat capacity as the energy needed to raise one gram of substance by one degree Fahrenheit, using the International-Table calorie.

Where is pound-force foot/pound/°R commonly used?

This unit is typical in power plant engineering, HVAC, refrigeration, and combustion modeling using Imperial or US customary units.

Why is unit conversion between these two units important?

It enables engineers and scientists to interpret and use legacy metric data alongside Imperial data consistently in thermodynamic and heat capacity analyses.
