How to Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Meters

To convert a measurement in cubic inches to a measurement in cubic meters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 1.6387E-5 cubic meters/cubic inch.

Since one cubic inch is equal to 1.6387E-5 cubic meters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic meters = cubic inches × 1.6387E-5

The volume in cubic meters is equal to the volume in cubic inches multiplied by 1.6387E-5.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 cubic inches to cubic meters using the formula above.

cubic meters = (50,000 in³ × 1.6387E-5) = 0.819353 m³

Cubic inches and cubic meters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Cubic Inch?

A cubic inch is a unit of volume equal to the space consumed by a cube with sides that are one inch in all directions. One cubic inch is equivalent to about 16.387 cubic centimeters or 0.554 fluid ounces.^[1]

The cubic inch is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic inch is sometimes also referred to as a cubic in. Cubic inches can be abbreviated as in³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu inch, cu in, or CI. For example, 1 cubic inch can be written as 1 in³, 1 cu inch, 1 cu in, or 1 CI.
