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

It is an Imperial unit of specific heat capacity expressing the energy to raise 1 pound mass of a substance by 1 degree Rankine.

Why convert to calorie (th)/gram/°C?

Calorie (th)/gram/°C is used in calorimetry and legacy data for thermal properties, enabling compatibility with scientific research and metric measurements.

Are the temperature increments °R and °C equivalent for conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes equivalence in temperature increments between degree Rankine and degree Celsius/Kelvin, but unit context must be considered.
