What does CHU/pound/°C represent?

It represents the amount of heat energy in CHU needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert from CHU/(lb*°C) to Btu (IT)/pound/°C?

To align thermal calculations with imperial heat units commonly used in engineering, HVAC, and industrial processes.

Are there any precision concerns in this conversion?

Yes, a slight numerical rounding in the conversion factor should be considered in highly precise calculations.
