What does CHU/pound/°C represent?

It is a unit of specific heat capacity showing the amount of heat energy in CHU needed to raise one pound of material by 1 degree Celsius.

Why convert CHU/(lb*°C) to calorie (th)/gram/°C?

Conversion helps interpret specific heat data in metric calorie-based units, useful for scientific research and comparing legacy thermal data.

Can I use this conversion for temperature changes in Kelvin?

Yes, as a 1 °C increment is equivalent to a 1 K increment, this conversion applies for temperature changes expressed in either scale.
