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)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 cal/cm³ = 4186800 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Btu (th)/ft² = 37234 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)
Step-by-step substitution for Calorie (IT)/cubic centimeter → BTU (th)/cubic foot:V(Btu (th)/ft²) = V(cal/cm³) × ( 4186800 / 37234 ) = V(cal/cm³) × 112.445614
