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)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 kgf/cm² = 98066.500286 pascal (Pa)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Pa = 1 pascal (Pa)
Step-by-step substitution for Kilogram-force/square centimeter → Pascal:V(Pa) = V(kgf/cm²) × ( 98066.500286 / 1 ) = V(kgf/cm²) × 98066.500286
