Why is the conversion rate 1 to 1 between these units?

The conversion rate is 1 to 1 because the thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius corresponds directly to the thermal British thermal unit per pound per degree Rankine when considering temperature increments as equivalent.

In which fields is this conversion commonly applied?

This conversion is commonly used in calorimetry labs, food science, HVAC engineering, boiler design, heat exchanger analysis, and combustion process calculations.

What should I be cautious about when using this converter?

Users must ensure consistent units for mass and temperature scales and note that the conversion applies only to the thermochemical calorie and assumes equivalence of temperature increments.
