Why convert from kJ/kg/°C to cal_IT/g/°F?

This conversion helps interpret thermophysical data expressed in imperial or legacy units commonly found in older engineering documents and material property tables.

What is the conversion factor from kJ/kg/°C to cal_IT/g/°F?

1 kilojoule per kilogram per degree Celsius equals approximately 0.2388458966 calorie (IT) per gram per degree Fahrenheit.

Are there any precautions when using calorie (IT) units?

Yes, since calorie (IT) is a non-SI unit, it may not be recognized in all modern engineering fields, and care must be taken with temperature and mass unit differences.
