About Cubic Feet
The cubic feet is the volume of a cube one feet on a side (about 28.3168 liters). HVAC, construction, and US freight sometimes use cubic feet.
About Liter
The liter is a metric unit equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). Science, global food labeling, and most countries’ everyday volumes use liters.
How to convert cubic feet to liters
1 cubic feet is equal to 28.316846592 liter:
1 ft3 = (28.316846592 L ÷ 1 L) l = 28.316846592 l
Each cubic feet is defined as 28.316846592 L and each liter as 1 L, so one ft3 equals 28.316846592 ÷ 1 l = 28.316846592 l.
Let V(ft3) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Cubic Feet (ft3), and V(l) the value in Liter (l). Then:
V(l) = V(ft3) × (28.316846592 / 1)
Equivalently, divide by how many ft3 fit into one l (liters per l divided by liters per ft3):
V(l) = V(ft3) ÷ 0.03531466672149
Or: liter = cubic feet ÷ 0.03531466672149
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 ft3 to liter
20 ft3 = 20 ft3 × (28.316846592/1) l = 566.33693184 l
20 ft3 = 20 ft3 ÷ 0.03531466672149 = 566.33693184 l
Example #2: Convert 50 ft3 to liter
50 ft3 = 50 ft3 × (28.316846592/1) l = 1415.8423296 l
50 ft3 = 50 ft3 ÷ 0.03531466672149 = 1415.8423296 l
Summary
To convert Cubic Feet to Liter, multiply the value in ft3 by the ratio of liters per ft3 divided by liters per l. Equivalently: value_l = value_ft3 × (28.316846592 / 1). Numerically, 1 ft3 equals 28.316846592 l.
Relationship context
You are converting between US customary fluid / volume (Cubic Feet) and metric (SI) (Liters). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 2.831685e+1.
