What does the unit CHU/pound/°C represent?

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

When should I convert CHU/pound/°C to calorie (IT)/gram/°C?

When comparing or using specific heat capacity data between imperial-based sets (using pounds and CHU) and metric-based scientific contexts using grams and International Table calories.

Are there any rounding issues with this conversion?

The conversion is very close to exact, but slight rounding differences might appear due to nuances in unit definitions.
