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 (watt (W)) 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)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 TR = 3516.852842 watt (W)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 µW = 1 × 10⁻⁶ watt (W)
Step-by-step substitution for Ton → Microwatt:V(µW) = V(TR) × ( 3516.852842 / 1 × 10⁻⁶ ) = V(TR) × 3.516853 × 10⁹
