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 (kelvin (K)) 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 °De = 1 kelvin (K)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 °R = 1 kelvin (K)
Step-by-step substitution for Delisle → Rankine:V(°R) = V(°De) × ( 1 / 1 ) = V(°De) × 670.47
Mathematical FormulaValue in Rankine = Value in Delisle × 670.47Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

To convert 2.5 Delisle (°De) to Rankine (°R): multiply 2.5 by 670.47 to get 668.67 °R. At an industrial engineering scale, 100 °De converts to 551.67 °R.

Inverse check: 1 °R = 558.891667 °De.
