Unit Converter — Physics Quantities implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

An extreme but representable input value, 1e308 J, converts mathematically to approximately 6.241509074460763e326 eV and overflows a JavaScript IEEE-754 Number to Infinity. The calorie probe also exposes a convention-dependent result if the lookup table does not specify the calorie definition.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

{
  "inputs": {
    "quantity_type": "energy",
    "value": 0,
    "from_unit": "cal",
    "to_unit": "J",
    "calorie_convention": "thermochemical"
  },
  "expected_outputs": {
    "value": 0,
    "unit": "J"
  },
  "working": "1. Apply the linear conversion: J = cal × 4.184 J/cal. 2. J = 0 × 4.184 = 0 J. This is an edge case and gives the same result for any calorie convention."
