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 hp·h (metric) = 2647795.5 joule (J)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 cal (th) = 4.184 joule (J)
Step-by-step substitution for Horsepower (metric) hour → Calorie (th):V(cal (th)) = V(hp·h (metric)) × ( 2647795.5 / 4.184 ) = V(hp·h (metric)) × 632838.31262
