Why do I need to convert CHU/(lb*°C) to pound-force foot/(lb*°R)?

Converting between these units allows translation of specific heat capacity data from Celsius-based systems to Rankine-based systems while keeping mass in pounds, which is essential for many engineering applications involving different temperature scales.

Can I use this conversion if my mass units are not in pounds?

No. This conversion specifically assumes the mass unit is pounds. Changing the mass unit would require a different conversion approach.

What should I be careful about when converting between these units?

You need to ensure that the temperature scales used match the units being converted and that the different energy bases (CHU vs. foot–pound-force) are properly accounted for using the exact conversion factor.
