Why convert from CHU/(lb·°C) to Btu (IT)/(lb·°F)?

Because some thermal calculations use US customary units with Fahrenheit temperature increments, converting lets you apply specific heat capacity data consistently within those systems.

Can this tool convert other units of specific heat capacity?

This tool specifically converts between CHU/pound/°C and Btu (IT)/pound/°F only.

Does the conversion affect accuracy?

Minor rounding differences may arise due to the temperature scale conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
