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

It measures specific heat capacity as the energy required in kilogram-force meters to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one kelvin.

Why convert to kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C?

This unit relates to thermochemical calories often used in food processing, soil science, and legacy thermal property data, making it useful for interpreting or reporting data in those fields.

Are kelvin and degree Celsius equivalent in this conversion?

Yes, the temperature interval size is equivalent, so the difference is negligible for specific heat capacity conversions.
