What does CHU/pound/°C represent?

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

When should I use kilocalorie (IT)/kilogram/°C?

Use it for thermal engineering and legacy data applications where heat is measured in International Table kilocalories per kilogram per degree Celsius.

Is this conversion accurate for all temperature units?

No, it specifically assumes temperature increments are in degrees Celsius and is not applicable to other temperature scales.
