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

It measures the specific heat capacity as the heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius, based on the thermochemical calorie.

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

To adapt specific heat capacity data from metric units used in research to imperial units common in engineering and industrial applications involving pounds and degrees Celsius.

Are temperature units considered in this conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes temperature increments are equivalent, with 1 degree Celsius equal to 1 kelvin.
