How to Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Meters

To convert a cubic inch measurement to a cubic meter measurement, multiply the volume by the conversion ratio.

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 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.
50,000 in³ = (50,000 × 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.

Cubic Inches

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.

Cubic Meters

One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with each edge measuring one meter.

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.
