Formula and method

1 ft³ = 0.028316846592 m³ = 28.316846592 L. A volume factor is the cube of the corresponding length factor. Multiplying by the feet-to-meters factor only once would give the wrong volume. Enter a known value in the units shown; editing a result solves the conversion in reverse.

1 ft³ = 0.028316846592 m³ = 28.316846592 L

Assumptions and limitations

  • A volume factor is the cube of the corresponding length factor. Multiplying by the feet-to-meters factor only once would give the wrong volume.
  • The worked example uses the starting units. A unit selection preserves the quantity, so check the unit before entering a new number.

Common questions

Which volume convention does this conversion use?

A volume factor is the cube of the corresponding length factor. Multiplying by the feet-to-meters factor only once would give the wrong volume.

How should I use a rounded result?

Keep enough digits for the accuracy of the original measurement. Display rounding changes the visible precision, while the calculation retains additional digits.
