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 (watt per square meter (W/m²)) 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)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 Btu (th)/(min·ft²) = 189.148863 watt per square meter (W/m²)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 kcal/(h·m²) = 1.163 watt per square meter (W/m²)
Step-by-step substitution for Btu (th)/minute/square foot → Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter:V(kcal/(h·m²)) = V(Btu (th)/(min·ft²)) × ( 189.148863 / 1.163 ) = V(Btu (th)/(min·ft²)) × 162.638704
