What does kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C measure?

It measures thermal conductivity as the heat flow in kilocalories per hour through a meter thick material for a one degree Celsius temperature difference.

Why convert to Btu (th) inch/second/sq. foot/°F?

Because it allows thermal conductivity data to be expressed in US customary (Imperial) units commonly used in HVAC and building calculations.

Are the conversion results exact?

Results depend on consistent temperature and thickness parameters and rounding in conversion constants, so slight variations can occur.
