What is a cubic foot?
A cubic foot is an imperial and US customary unit of volume equal to the space of a cube one foot on each side, about 28.32 liters. The cubic foot is the standard large-volume unit in the US and UK for appliances, storage, and natural gas. Refrigerators and freezers are still sold by their cubic-foot capacity in North America.
Common uses of cubic feet include: Refrigerator, freezer, and appliance capacity; Natural gas metering in the US; Storage unit and moving container volume; Airflow ratings (cubic feet per minute).
What is a cubic centimeter?
A cubic centimeter is a metric unit of volume equal to the space of a cube one centimeter on each side, exactly equal to one milliliter. Long abbreviated 'cc', the cubic centimeter is the classic unit for engine displacement on motorcycles and small engines, and for medical fluid volumes before 'mL' became the preferred medical term.
Common uses of cubic centimeters include: Engine displacement on motorcycles and small engines; Medical fluid volumes (cc); Material volume in engineering and 3D modeling; Laboratory measurements.
