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:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 cal/cm³ = 4186800 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)
Step-by-step substitution for BTU (th)/cubic foot → Calorie (IT)/cubic centimeter:V(cal/cm³) = V(Btu (th)/ft²) × ( 37234 / 4186800 ) = V(Btu (th)/ft²) × 0.00889319
