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 thm/gal = 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 Btu/ft³ = 37258.945798 joule per cubic meter (J/m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Therm/gallon (US) → Btu/cubic foot:V(Btu/ft³) = V(thm/gal) × ( 2.787163 × 10¹⁰ / 37258.945798 ) = V(thm/gal) × 748051.968322
