What does kilojoule/kilogram/°C measure?

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

Why convert to Btu (th)/pound/°R?

Because it is used in U.S. customary engineering and thermodynamic calculations that apply the Rankine temperature scale.

Is the temperature interval between °C and °R the same for conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes temperature intervals are equivalent, but correct temperature units should still be applied.
