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

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

Why convert from kilocalorie (th)/kg/K to kilogram-force meter/kg/K?

To translate thermal capacity data between SI thermochemical units and older gravitational force-based units commonly found in legacy engineering literature.

Is kilogram-force meter/kg/K an SI unit?

No, kilogram-force meter per kilogram per kelvin is a non-SI unit used mainly in older or historical engineering contexts.
