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 (coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)) 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 Rep = 0.000258 coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 µC/kg = 1 × 10⁻⁶ coulomb per kilogram (C/kg)
Step-by-step substitution for Roentgen Equivalent Physical → Microcoulomb/kilogram:V(µC/kg) = V(Rep) × ( 0.000258 / 1 × 10⁻⁶ ) = V(Rep) × 258
Mathematical FormulaValue in Microcoulomb/kilogram = Value in Roentgen Equivalent Physical × 258Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

For an engineering input of 15 Rep, applying the conversion factor yields exactly 3870 µC/kg. At larger operational scale, 10000 Roentgen Equivalent Physical corresponds to 2580000 µC/kg.

Inverse check: 1 µC/kg = 0.00387597 Rep.
