Why is the conversion rate 1:1 between these units?

Although the units use different mass and temperature scales, 1 kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C is defined to equal 1 Btu (th)/pound/°F numerically for specific heat capacity.

Can I use this converter for heat energy conversions?

This tool is intended for converting specific heat capacity units, not heat energy values; use appropriate energy converters for that purpose.

Do I need to adjust other parameters when converting units for engineering calculations?

Yes, ensure all related variables like mass and temperature changes are consistently converted to avoid errors in computations.
