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 (volt per meter (V/m)) 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 V/mil = 39370.07874 volt per meter (V/m)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 kV/m = 1000 volt per meter (V/m)

Step-by-step substitution for Volt/mil → Kilovolt/meter:V(kV/m) = V(V/mil) × ( 39370.07874 / 1000 ) = V(V/mil) × 39.370079
