What does joule/kilogram/°C measure?

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

Why convert J/(kg·°C) to CHU/(lb·°C)?

To adjust specific heat capacity data for use in systems or industries that use pounds and degrees Celsius instead of SI units.

Is CHU a common unit like the joule?

CHU may not be as widely recognized as joule-based units, so additional clarification might be required.
