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 (cubic meter per kilogram (m³/kg)) without arbitrary rounding:

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 (k_source):1 ft³/lb = 0.062428 cubic meter per kilogram (m³/kg)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 cm³/g = 0.001 cubic meter per kilogram (m³/kg)

Step-by-step substitution for Cubic foot/pound → Cubic centimeter/gram:V(cm³/g) = V(ft³/lb) × ( 0.062428 / 0.001 ) = V(ft³/lb) × 62.427962

1 Cubic foot/pound is larger than 1 Cubic centimeter/gram. Specifically, 1 Cubic foot/pound equals exactly 62.42796203 cubic centimeters/gram, making it 62.428 times larger (a difference of 1.80 orders of magnitude). Therefore, quantities expressed in cubic centimeters/gram require a larger numerical value to represent the same physical amount.

Under standard international measurement guidelines, 1 Cubic foot/pound converts to 62.42796203 cubic centimeters/gram. Precise numerical conversion factors ensure consistency across laboratory, engineering, and field data.

One cubic foot per pound equals 62.428 cubic centimeters per gram. Scientific notation: 1 ft³/lb = 62.428 cm³/g.

To convert specific volume from imperial cubic feet per pound (V(ft³/lb)) to CGS cubic centimeters per gram (V(cm³/g)), multiply by 62.428: V(cm³/g) = V(ft³/lb) × 62.428

To convert cubic centimeters per gram (V(cm³/g)) to cubic feet per pound (V(ft³/lb)), multiply by 0.0160185: V(ft³/lb) = V(cm³/g) × 0.0160185

The conversion factor 62.428 is identical to the density of pure water in lb/ft³ at maximum density (3.98°C). Because liquid water has a specific volume of 1 cm³/g in CGS, 1 ft³/lb corresponds to 62.428 times water's specific volume.
