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 per kilogram (J/kg)) 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 kcal/kg = 4186.798188 joule per kilogram (J/kg)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 kcal (th)/kg = 4183.995381 joule per kilogram (J/kg)

Step-by-step substitution for Kilocalorie (IT)/kilogram → Kilocalorie (th)/kilogram:V(kcal (th)/kg) = V(kcal/kg) × ( 4186.798188 / 4183.995381 ) = V(kcal/kg) × 1.00067

Mathematical FormulaValue in Kilocalorie (th)/kilogram = Value in Kilocalorie (IT)/kilogram × 1.00066989Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

Converting 36 kcal/kg yields an exact output of 36.024116 kcal (th)/kg in Kilocalorie (th)/kilogram. Under higher industrial throughput, 10000 kcal/kg translates to 10006.698877 kcal (th)/kg.

Inverse check: 1 kcal (th)/kg = 0.999331 kcal/kg.
