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:

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 hPa = 100 pascal (Pa)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 mmH2O = 9.80665 pascal (Pa)
Step-by-step substitution for Hectopascal → Millimeter water (4°C):V(mmH2O) = V(hPa) × ( 100 / 9.80665 ) = V(hPa) × 10.197162
