Formula
One international foot is 0.3048 meters, so one cubic foot is 0.3048 cubed:
cubic meters = cubic feet × 0.028316846592
Shipping volume in cubic meters can start from this result. This page does not price the freight.
Assumptions
- The value can be zero and cannot be negative.
- The result is shown with up to six decimal places.
Worked example
1 cubic foot equals 0.028317 cubic meters.
Input definitions
- Cubic feet
- A volume already measured in cubic feet.
Limitations
Length times width times height has to be in feet before you enter it. The page does not multiply three sides.
Questions
Why such a small number?
A foot is shorter than a meter, and volume uses the cube of that ratio.
Is this the same as CBM?
A cubic meter is one CBM. Enter the cubic feet you already have.
