Convert Cubic centimetres to Cubic feet

1 cubic centimetre is 0.00003531 ft³. One cubic centimetre is exactly 0.0000353146667215 cubic feet.

One cubic centimetre is 3.5315 × 10^-5 cubic feet. To convert cubic centimetres to cubic feet, multiply by 3.5315 × 10^-5; to go the other way, divide by 3.5315 × 10^-5 or multiply by 28316.847. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 130. A thousandth of a litre, which makes it exactly a millilitre — the same volume under two names.

How do you convert cubic centimetres to cubic feet? The converter and the working

  1. 1.Take the measurement in cubic centimetres.
  2. 2.Multiply by 3.5315 × 10^-5 — that is how many cubic feet fit in one cubic centimetre.
  3. 3.To go back the other way, divide by 3.5315 × 10^-5, or multiply by 28316.847.

Worked example: 25 cubic centimetres to cubic feet

Formula
cm³ × 3.5315 × 10^-5 = ft³
Arithmetic
25 × 3.5315 × 10^-5 = 0.0008829 ft³
Answer
25 cm³ = 0.0008829 ft³

The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a cubic centimetre?

A thousandth of a litre, which makes it exactly a millilitre — the same volume under two names. Engine displacement uses cc and medicine uses ml for the identical quantity.

What is a cubic foot?

Exactly 28.316846592 litres, or 7.48 US gallons. The working unit of natural gas billing, air flow and refrigerator capacity in the US.

How many cubic feet are in a cubic centimetre?

One cubic centimetre is 3.5315 × 10^-5 cubic feet. Going the other way, one cubic foot is 28316.847 cubic centimetres. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a cubic centimetre.
