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 (candela (cd)) 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 candle (int) = 1.019 candela (cd)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 cp (pentane) = 1 candela (cd)
Step-by-step substitution for Candle (international) → Pentane Candle (1 cp):V(cp (pentane)) = V(candle (int)) × ( 1.019 / 1 ) = V(candle (int)) × 1.019
Mathematical FormulaValue in Pentane Candle (1 cp) = Value in Candle (international) × 1.019Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Converting 15 candle (int) yields an exact output of 15.285 cp (pentane) in Pentane Candle (1 cp). Under higher industrial throughput, 480 candle (int) translates to 489.12 cp (pentane).

Inverse check: 1 cp (pentane) = 0.981354 candle (int).
