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

It is a specific heat capacity unit measuring thermal energy in thermochemical kilocalories needed to raise 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin.

Why convert to Btu (th)/pound/°F?

This conversion aligns measurements with Imperial units used in HVAC, boiler, and process engineering fields for better compatibility.

Is the conversion rate always 1:1?

Yes, for these thermochemical specific heat capacity units, 1 kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/K equals 1 Btu (th)/pound/°F numerically.
