What does joule per gram per degree Celsius measure?

It measures the amount of energy in joules required to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.

Where is Btu (th)/pound/°R commonly used?

This unit is widely used in U.S. customary engineering and thermodynamic calculations involving the Rankine temperature scale, such as HVAC and boiler design.

Can this converter be used for materials undergoing phase changes?

No, the converter assumes ideal conditions and does not account for phase changes or specific material variations during thermal processes.
