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 (pascal (Pa)) 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 daPa = 10 pascal (Pa)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 kgf/m² = 9.80665 pascal (Pa)

Step-by-step substitution for Dekapascal → Kilogram-force/sq. meter:V(kgf/m²) = V(daPa) × ( 10 / 9.80665 ) = V(daPa) × 1.019716
