What does CHU per pound per degree Celsius measure?

It is a specific heat capacity unit representing the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of a material by one degree Celsius.

Why convert to kilogram-force meter per kilogram per kelvin?

This unit allows interpreting or converting older thermal data involving gravitational force-based energy units into a metric context.

Are temperature scale differences important in this conversion?

Temperature changes in degrees Celsius and kelvin increments are equivalent here, which simplifies the conversion process.
