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)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 cal/(h·cm²) = 11.63 watt per square meter (W/m²)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 J/(s·m²) = 1 watt per square meter (W/m²)
Step-by-step substitution for Calorie (IT)/hour/cm² → Joule/second/square meter:V(J/(s·m²)) = V(cal/(h·cm²)) × ( 11.63 / 1 ) = V(cal/(h·cm²)) × 11.63
Mathematical FormulaValue in Joule/second/square meter = Value in Calorie (IT)/hour/cm² × 11.63Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

To convert 120 Calorie (IT)/hour/cm² (cal/(h·cm²)) to Joule/second/square meter (J/(s·m²)): multiply 120 by 11.63 to get 1395.6 J/(s·m²). At an industrial engineering scale, 1000 cal/(h·cm²) converts to 11630 J/(s·m²).

Inverse check: 1 J/(s·m²) = 0.0859845 cal/(h·cm²).
