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 cubic meter (J/m³)) 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 MJ/m³ = 1000000 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 thm/gal = 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Megajoule/cubic meter → Therm/gallon (US):V(thm/gal) = V(MJ/m³) × ( 1000000 / 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ ) = V(MJ/m³) × 3.587878 × 10⁻⁵

Mathematical FormulaValue in Therm/gallon (US) = Value in Megajoule/cubic meter × 3.587878 × 10⁻⁵Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

To convert 12 Megajoule/cubic meter (MJ/m³) to Therm/gallon (US) (thm/gal): multiply 12 by 3.587878 × 10⁻⁵ to get 0.000430545 thm/gal. At an industrial engineering scale, 5000 MJ/m³ converts to 0.179394 thm/gal.

Inverse check: 1 thm/gal = 27871.627742 MJ/m³.
