A cubic meter is a unit used to measure volume.
The cubic meter, or cubic metre, is the SI derived unit for volume in the metric system. Cubic meters can be abbreviated as m³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu m, CBM, cbm, or MTQ. For example, 1 cubic meter can be written as 1 m³, 1 cu m, 1 CBM, 1 cbm, or 1 MTQ.

How Much Is a Cubic Meter?
One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with each edge measuring one meter.
How to Convert Cubic Meters
To convert cubic meters to another unit of volume, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for cubic meters in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the volume measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
cubic meters × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
