About Cubic Inches

The cubic inch is the volume of a cube one inch on a side. Engine displacement in the US and small volumes in machining use cubic inches.

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.

How to convert cubic inches to cubic feet

1 cubic inches is equal to 0.0005787037037 cubic feet:

1 in3 = (0.016387064 L ÷ 28.316846592 L) ft3 = 0.0005787037037 ft3

Each cubic inches is defined as 0.016387064 L and each cubic feet as 28.316846592 L, so one in3 equals 0.016387064 ÷ 28.316846592 ft3 = 0.0005787037037 ft3.

Let V(in3) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Cubic Inches (in3), and V(ft3) the value in Cubic Feet (ft3). Then:

V(ft3) = V(in3) × (0.016387064 / 28.316846592)

Equivalently, divide by how many in3 fit into one ft3 (liters per ft3 divided by liters per in3):

V(ft3) = V(in3) ÷ 1728

Or: cubic feet = cubic inches ÷ 1728

Examples

Example #1: Convert 20 in3 to cubic feet

20 in3 = 20 in3 × (0.016387064/28.316846592) ft3 = 0.0115740741 ft3

20 in3 = 20 in3 ÷ 1728 = 0.0115740741 ft3

Example #2: Convert 50 in3 to cubic feet

50 in3 = 50 in3 × (0.016387064/28.316846592) ft3 = 0.0289351852 ft3

50 in3 = 50 in3 ÷ 1728 = 0.0289351852 ft3

Summary

To convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Feet, multiply the value in in3 by the ratio of liters per in3 divided by liters per ft3. Equivalently: value_ft3 = value_in3 × (0.016387064 / 28.316846592). Numerically, 1 in3 equals 0.0005787037037037037 ft3.

Relationship context
