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 meter kelvin (W/(m·K))) 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)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 kcal (th)/(h·m·°C) = 1.162222 watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))
Step-by-step substitution for Calorie (IT)/second/centimeter/°C → Kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C:V(kcal (th)/(h·m·°C)) = V(cal/(s·cm·°C)) × ( 418.68 / 1.162222 ) = V(cal/(s·cm·°C)) × 360.240918
