What is a cubic meter?
A cubic meter is the SI unit of volume, equal to the space of a cube one meter on each side, or 1,000 liters. The cubic meter is the coherent SI derived unit of volume. It is the standard unit for large volumes in construction, water supply, and gas metering, where it is often shortened to 'cube' in the trades.
Common uses of cubic meters include: Water and natural gas utility billing; Concrete, soil, and bulk material ordering; Shipping container and cargo volume; Room and building air volume (HVAC).
What is a cubic inch?
A cubic inch is an imperial and US customary unit of volume equal to the space of a cube one inch on each side, exactly 16.387064 milliliters. The cubic inch was the traditional way to express American engine displacement (e.g. a '350 cubic inch' V8) before the metric liter became common. It remains in use in US manufacturing and packaging.
Common uses of cubic inches include: Classic and American V8 engine displacement; Packaging and box volume in the US; Woodworking and material volume; Compressor and pump specifications.
