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 (joule (J)) 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 foe (kL) = 4.019293 × 10¹⁰ joule (J)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 GJ = 1 × 10⁹ joule (J)
Step-by-step substitution for Fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter → Gigajoule:V(GJ) = V(foe (kL)) × ( 4.019293 × 10¹⁰ / 1 × 10⁹ ) = V(foe (kL)) × 40.192926
Mathematical FormulaValue in Gigajoule = Value in Fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter × 40.19292605Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

To convert 12 Fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter (foe (kL)) to Gigajoule (GJ): multiply 12 by 40.192926 to get 482.315113 GJ. At an industrial engineering scale, 100 foe (kL) converts to 4019.292605 GJ.
