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 (coulomb per square meter (C/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 C/cm² = 10000 coulomb per square meter (C/m²)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 abC/in² = 15500.031 coulomb per square meter (C/m²)
Step-by-step substitution for Coulomb/centimeter² → Abcoulomb/square inch:V(abC/in²) = V(C/cm²) × ( 10000 / 15500.031 ) = V(C/cm²) × 0.64516
