Cubic Meters to Cubic Feet Conversion Guide

Convert cubic meters to cubic feet instantly. Helpful for construction, container volumes, and logistics planning.

Formula

  • m³ → ft³: cubic feet = cubic meters × 35.3146667
  • ft³ → m³: cubic meters = cubic feet ÷ 35.3146667

Definition

A cubic meter (m³) is an SI unit of volume equal to a cube with 1-meter edges. A cubic foot (ft³) is a US customary/imperial unit based on a 1-foot cube, where 1 ft = 0.3048 m.

Origin & History

The meter is defined by the speed of light, making the m³ the SI cornerstone for volume. The modern foot was standardized in 1959; its metric definition ensures precise ft³ conversions.

Current Use

  • m³: Engineering, construction, cargo capacity, and utilities.
  • ft³: US construction, HVAC airflow, appliance capacities, and storage.

Examples

  • 2 m³ → 2 × 35.3146667 = 70.6293334 ft³
  • 5 m³ → 5 × 35.3146667 = 176.5733335 ft³
  • 10 m³ → 10 × 35.3146667 = 353.146667 ft³
  • 100 ft³ → 100 ÷ 35.3146667 = 2.8316847 m³
