🛢️ Gallons → Cubic Feet
Translate liquid capacity into spatial volume.
Useful for pooling, storage tank sizing, and engineering calculations where you need both gallons and cubic units.
500 gallons equals
66.8403 ft³
Cubic meters: 1.892706 m³
How to Use This Calculator
Enter gallons
Provide the capacity in U.S. liquid gallons.
Review cubic feet
The converter divides gallons by 7.48052 to produce cubic feet.
Check cubic meters
Metric output helps when aligning with SI-based equipment or permits.
Formula
1 cubic foot = 7.48052 gallons
Cubic feet = Gallons ÷ 7.48052
Cubic meters = Gallons × 0.003785411784
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Storing or transporting large fluid volumes often requires expressing the capacity in cubic feet or cubic meters. This converter provides the spatial equivalents for planning, permitting, and structural calculations.
It uses the exact U.S. gallon definition (based on 231 cubic inches), ensuring accuracy across industrial and municipal projects.
For reverse conversions, use the cubic feet to gallons calculator or multiply cubic feet by 7.48052.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support Imperial gallons?
No. Imperial gallons differ (1 ft³ = 6.22884 imp gal). Convert to U.S. gallons first or extend the tool.
Can I convert decimals?
Yes. Fractional gallons convert accurately for partial tank volumes.
What about liters?
Multiply gallons by 3.785411784 to get liters, or use the gallons to cups converter for additional breakdowns.
Is temperature considered?
This conversion is purely geometric. Thermal expansion affects actual liquid volume separately.
