What does kilogram-force meter/kilogram/K measure?

It measures the energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one kelvin using gravitational force units.

Why convert to Btu (IT)/pound/°F?

Because Btu (IT)/pound/°F is commonly used in US engineering and HVAC calculations involving heat capacity and heat load estimations.

Is this conversion suitable for modern engineering?

Yes, it helps translate older or gravitational-based data into SI or customary units preferred in contemporary practice.
