What does kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C represent?

It is a specific heat capacity unit representing energy in thermochemical kilocalories needed to raise 1 kilogram of material by 1 degree Celsius.

Why convert to calorie (IT)/gram/°F?

Converting to calorie (IT)/gram/°F helps interpret or report data originally recorded in imperial or legacy units especially in older engineering, calorimetry, or material analysis contexts.

Is the conversion exact for all calorie definitions?

No, the tool assumes equivalency between thermochemical kilocalories and International Table calories, and may not apply if other calorie definitions are involved.
