📦 ft³ → m³ Converter
Translate U.S. customary volumes into SI units.
Ideal for HVAC sizing, shipping calculations, and construction estimates.
100 ft³ equals
2.831685 m³
Additional Reference
Liters: 2,831.6847 L
How to Use This Calculator
Enter cubic feet
Provide the volume in ft³ from blueprints, product specs, or capacity charts.
Read cubic meters
The converter multiplies by 0.0283168466 to deliver SI cubic meters.
Use liter reference
Liters help when comparing to metric containers or fuel volumes.
Formula
1 ft³ = 0.0283168466 m³
m³ = ft³ × 0.0283168466
Liters = m³ × 1,000
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Converting cubic feet to cubic meters enables seamless collaboration between U.S. customary and international engineering teams. HVAC equipment, storage bins, and shipping containers often list capacities in ft³—while regulatory filings and SI calculations expect m³.
The conversion uses the exact factor from NIST (1 ft = 0.3048 m), ensuring accurate results for design calculations and compliance audits.
The liter reference helps when comparing to common tank sizes or fluid capacities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the converter support decimals?
Yes. Fractional cubic feet convert accurately, useful for precise HVAC or tank calculations.
Can I convert m³ back to ft³?
Divide by 0.0283168466, or use the general volume converter for multi-directional conversions.
What about cubic yards?
Use the volume converter to jump from ft³ to yd³ or other volumetric units.
Is this suitable for legal/engineering documents?
Yes. It relies on SI definitions and retains precision compatible with professional standards.
