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:

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)

2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Btu (th)/ft² = 37234 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)
Step-by-step substitution for Therm/cubic foot → BTU (th)/cubic foot:V(Btu (th)/ft²) = V(therm/ft³) × ( 3.725895 × 10⁹ / 37234 ) = V(therm/ft³) × 100067.000591
