Why convert kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C to pound-force foot/pound/°R?

To translate specific heat capacity data from the metric thermochemical system to Imperial units used in various US-based engineering and thermodynamic applications.

What is the conversion factor used between these units?

One kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C equals approximately 777.6488471675 pound-force foot/pound/°R.

Are Celsius and Rankine temperature scales interchangeable in this conversion?

While conversion assumes direct equivalence, Celsius and Rankine differ by a factor of 1.8, and this is accounted for in the conversion factor.
