What does joule/kilogram/°C measure?

It measures the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert to pound-force foot/pound/°R?

This unit is used in Imperial and US customary systems, especially in thermodynamics, HVAC, and power plant engineering working with Rankine temperature scale.

Does this conversion consider temperature scale differences?

Yes, the conversion aligns with the Rankine scale for temperature, which corresponds differently than Celsius.
