Facts about Cubic Foot
Basic facts: A cubic foot [symbol is: ft3 or cu ft] is a unit of volume in the United States customary, i.e.: non-metric, and imperial systems of measurement represented as the cube volume with side measurements of 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft. It equals 1,728 cubic centimeters, around 0.028317 cubic meters, and 28.317 liters. In other words, it is the amount of liquid that can be fit into a box 1 foot deep, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot in length. A cubic foot of water weighs 62.37 pounds (28.29 kg) at 60 °F (16 °C).
History: The cubic foot descended from the foot, the definition of which is based on the international yard which was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s as precisely equal to 0.9144 m.
Use: The cubic foot is used in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and in some parts of Canada, however, in all of these countries, the SI (International System of Units) units of volume such as liter, milliliter, and cubic meter, are also used.
A cubic foot per second or cubic meter per second [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft3/s.] commonly expresses the flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time.
A cubic foot per minute [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per minute is ft3/min] is used to measure the amount of air that is being delivered and is a common metric utilized for carburetors, air-compressor systems, and pneumatic tools.
A standard cubic foot [abbreviated scf] is a measure of the quantity of gas, sometimes defined in terms of standard temperature and pressure as a cubic foot of volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 °C; 288.71 K).
Facts about Cubic Meter
Basic facts: A cubic meter is a unit of measurement used to measure the volume of a cube. This cube is an ideal cube. The length, width, and height are all the same and equal to 1 meter. One meter is equivalent to around 3.28 feet.
History: The cubic metre [in international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and in Commonwealth English] or cubic meter [in American English] is the SI derived unit of volume. Its SI symbol is m3. An alternative name, which allowed a different usage with metric prefixes, was the stère, still sometimes used for dry measure [for example, in reference to wood]. Another alternative term, no longer widely used, was the kilolitre.
Use: We use a cubic meter as a unit to measure the amount of stuff we can fit into that cube, also called the volume of the cube. So, we could use cubic meters to explain, for instance, how much cement you would need to fill the swimming pool in your front yard or how much sand you would need to fill your sandbox.
How do we measure volume? It is different than measuring the distance of a line or the area of a flat shape. In order to find volume, you should measure the object or space from three sides: width, depth, and height, and then multiply the measurements together.
Let’s say that you want to measure the volume of your swimming pool. It measures 2 meters deep [i.e., height], 10 meters wide [i.e., width], and 12 meters long [i.e., length]. To find the cubic meters, you multiply the three together like so 2 x 10 x 12 = 240 cubic meters.
