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

It measures specific heat capacity as the energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one kelvin, using gravitational force units.

Why convert to calorie (th)/gram/°C?

Converting to calorie (th)/gram/°C helps interpret calorimetry data and legacy thermal property information common in chemistry, physics, and engineering.

Is 1 kelvin the same as 1 degree Celsius for this conversion?

For specific heat capacity calculations, 1 kelvin and 1 degree Celsius increments are considered equivalent.
