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 cp (pentane) = 1 candela (cd)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 candle (UK) = 1.04 candela (cd)
Step-by-step substitution for Pentane Candle (1 cp) → Candle (UK):V(candle (UK)) = V(cp (pentane)) × ( 1 / 1.04 ) = V(cp (pentane)) × 0.961538
Mathematical FormulaValue in Candle (UK) = Value in Pentane Candle (1 cp) × 0.96153846Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

To convert 120 Pentane Candle (1 cp) (cp (pentane)) to Candle (UK) (candle (UK)): multiply 120 by 0.961538 to get 115.384615 candle (UK). At an industrial engineering scale, 2500 cp (pentane) converts to 2403.846154 candle (UK).

Inverse check: 1 candle (UK) = 1.04 cp (pentane).
