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.

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.

How to convert liters to cubic inches

1 liter is equal to 61.02374409473229 cubic inches:

1 l = (1 L ÷ 0.016387064 L) in3 = 61.02374409473229 in3

Each liter is defined as 1 L and each cubic inches as 0.016387064 L, so one l equals 1 ÷ 0.016387064 in3 = 61.02374409473229 in3.

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

V(in3) = V(l) × (1 / 0.016387064)

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

V(in3) = V(l) ÷ 0.016387064

Or: cubic inches = liter ÷ 0.016387064

Examples

Example #1: Convert 20 l to cubic inches

20 l = 20 l × (1/0.016387064) in3 = 1220.47488189 in3

20 l = 20 l ÷ 0.016387064 = 1220.47488189 in3

Example #2: Convert 50 l to cubic inches

50 l = 50 l × (1/0.016387064) in3 = 3051.18720474 in3

50 l = 50 l ÷ 0.016387064 = 3051.18720474 in3

Summary

To convert Liter to Cubic Inches, multiply the value in l by the ratio of liters per l divided by liters per in3. Equivalently: value_in3 = value_l × (1 / 0.016387064). Numerically, 1 l equals 61.02374409473229 in3.

Relationship context

You are converting between metric (SI) (Liters) and US customary fluid / volume (Cubic Inches). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 6.102374e+1.
