Measurement system: US/Imperial length-derived → SI

Convert cubic foot (ft³) → cubic metre (m³)

1 ft³ equals 0.028316846592 m³. The name of a customary unit matters: US liquid and Imperial units are not interchangeable.

Why the distinction matters

cubic foot and cubic metre belong to measurement conventions that may look familiar but are not always equivalent across countries. Mendeleev.com therefore keeps the system name next to the abbreviation and calculates from defined conversion factors rather than rounded kitchen rules.

Example

1 ft³ = 0.028316846592 m³ · 10 ft³ = 0.28316846592 m³.
