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

It measures specific heat capacity as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius, using the thermochemical calorie.

Where is Btu (IT)/pound/°R commonly used?

It is primarily used in US customary or imperial systems for thermodynamic and heat-transfer calculations, especially in HVAC and boiler design.

Why is this unit conversion important?

Converting between these units allows users to compare or update heat capacity data across metric calorie-based and imperial Btu-based systems commonly found in engineering and science.
