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 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 inches to liters
1 cubic inches is equal to 0.016387064 liter:
1 in3 = (0.016387064 L ÷ 1 L) l = 0.016387064 l
Each cubic inches is defined as 0.016387064 L and each liter as 1 L, so one in3 equals 0.016387064 ÷ 1 l = 0.016387064 l.
Let V(in3) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Cubic Inches (in3), and V(l) the value in Liter (l). Then:
V(l) = V(in3) × (0.016387064 / 1)
Equivalently, divide by how many in3 fit into one l (liters per l divided by liters per in3):
V(l) = V(in3) ÷ 61.02374409473229
Or: liter = cubic inches ÷ 61.02374409473229
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 in3 to liter
20 in3 = 20 in3 × (0.016387064/1) l = 0.32774128 l
20 in3 = 20 in3 ÷ 61.02374409473229 = 0.32774128 l
Example #2: Convert 50 in3 to liter
50 in3 = 50 in3 × (0.016387064/1) l = 0.8193532 l
50 in3 = 50 in3 ÷ 61.02374409473229 = 0.8193532 l
Summary
To convert Cubic Inches to Liter, multiply the value in in3 by the ratio of liters per in3 divided by liters per l. Equivalently: value_l = value_in3 × (0.016387064 / 1). Numerically, 1 in3 equals 0.016387064 l.
Relationship context
You are converting between US customary fluid / volume (Cubic Inches) 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 1.638706e-2.
