What does kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/K measure?

It measures the thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one kelvin using thermochemical kilocalories.

When should I use Btu (IT)/pound/°C units?

Btu (IT)/pound/°C is commonly used in HVAC and engineering calculations involving US customary or imperial units.

Can this tool be used for all types of materials?

The tool works for general specific heat capacity conversions but may not account for material-specific deviations under non-standard conditions.
