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 cal/cm³ = 4186800 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 J/L = 1000 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Calorie (IT)/cubic centimeter → Joule/liter:V(J/L) = V(cal/cm³) × ( 4186800 / 1000 ) = V(cal/cm³) × 4186.8
