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 (newton meter (N·m)) 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 N·m = 1 newton meter (N·m)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 kgf·mm = 0.00980665 newton meter (N·m)
Step-by-step substitution for Newton meter → Kilogram-force millimeter:V(kgf·mm) = V(N·m) × ( 1 / 0.00980665 ) = V(N·m) × 101.971621
