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

It measures specific heat capacity as the energy in foot–pound force needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Rankine.

When should I use CHU/pound/°C units?

Use CHU/pound/°C for specific heat capacity when dealing with mass in pounds and temperature differences in degrees Celsius.

Why is conversion between these units important?

Converting is essential to reconcile thermodynamic data between Rankine-based Imperial units and Celsius-based units for engineering and thermal calculations.
