What does pound-force foot/pound/°R measure?

It measures specific heat capacity in Imperial units, representing the energy needed to raise 1 pound mass by 1 degree Rankine.

Why convert to calorie (IT)/gram/°C?

Because many scientific and calorimetry data are expressed in metric units using calories and Celsius degrees for easier comparison and analysis.

Are degree Rankine and degree Celsius intervals equal?

Yes, for the purpose of specific heat capacity interval steps, their increments are equivalent, although their zero points differ.
