What does calorie (th)/gram/°C measure?

It measures specific heat capacity as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C.

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

To translate specific heat capacity values between metric and imperial units for various applications such as engineering and thermal property calculations.

Is the temperature increment difference important in this conversion?

No, temperature increments of 1 °C and 1 K are equivalent and used consistently in both units.
