Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (joule per cubic meter (J/m³)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 Btu/ft³ = 37258.945798 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 thm/gal = 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Btu/cubic foot → Therm/gallon (US):V(thm/gal) = V(Btu/ft³) × ( 37258.945798 / 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ ) = V(Btu/ft³) × 1.336806 × 10⁻⁶

Mathematical FormulaValue in Therm/gallon (US) = Value in Btu/cubic foot × 1.33680552 × 10⁻⁶Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

To convert 2.5 Btu/cubic foot (Btu/ft³) to Therm/gallon (US) (thm/gal): multiply 2.5 by 1.336806 × 10⁻⁶ to get 3.342014 × 10⁻⁶ thm/gal. At an industrial engineering scale, 2500 Btu/ft³ converts to 0.00334201 thm/gal.
