What does kilojoule per kilogram per degree Celsius measure?

It measures the amount of heat energy in kilojoules needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert specific heat capacity from kJ/kg/°C to Btu (IT)/lb/°F?

Conversion is required to translate heat capacity data between metric units and the US customary system for accurate thermal calculations in various engineering applications.

Can this conversion be used for all substances?

While it applies generally, variations in substance properties at extreme temperatures or pressures may require special consideration.
