What does joule/kilogram/°C measure?

It measures specific heat capacity as the heat energy needed to raise one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert to Btu (th)/pound/°R?

Converting to this unit aligns your specific heat capacity values with U.S. customary units used in many engineering and thermodynamic applications.

Does this tool account for temperature scale differences?

The tool converts specific heat capacity units, but temperature scale differences like Celsius versus Rankine are not directly adjusted for thermodynamic calculations.
