When you want to measure the volume of something (like a pile of grain, a water tank, or a storage box), you often use cubic feet or cubic metres. These are units that tell you how much space something takes up.
- Cubic Feet (ft³): This is a unit used mostly in countries using the imperial system. It means the space inside a cube that is 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot high.
- Cubic Metres (m³): This is a metric unit. It means the space inside a cube that is 1 metre long, 1 metre wide, and 1 metre high.
Since 1 foot is smaller than 1 metre, 1 cubic foot is smaller than 1 cubic metre.
Why convert cubic feet to cubic metres?
- You might have measurements in cubic feet but need to know how much it is in cubic metres, which is often used in science, agriculture, and trade internationally.
- It helps compare volumes easily when different units are used.
How to convert cubic feet to cubic metres?
The relation is:
1 cubic foot=0.0283168 cubic metresSo, to convert a volume from cubic feet to cubic metres, multiply the number of cubic feet by 0.0283168.
Example
If you have 100 cubic feet of grain storage space, to find out how many cubic metres that is:
100×0.0283168=2.83168 cubic metresHow to use the calculator?
- Enter the volume in cubic feet.
- Press the convert button.
- The calculator will show the volume in cubic metres.
This helps farmers understand measurements easily when dealing with different systems or international standards.
