To convert from Fluid Ounce (fl-oz) to Cubic meter (m3), use the following formula:
With is the ratio between the base units Liter (l) and Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).
Let's convert 5 Fluid Ounce (fl-oz) to Cubic meter (m3).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Fluid Ounce (fl-oz) is equal to Cubic meter (m3).

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a common unit used to measure volume in the imperial and US customary systems.
It tells you how much space a liquid takes up.
This is a common point of confusion: no, they are not the same!
The US fluid ounce is slightly larger than the UK (Imperial) fluid ounce. This slight difference is crucial to remember for recipes and measurements, especially when converting between systems.
The word "ounce" can be tricky because it measures two different things:
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume (how much space something occupies).
An ounce (oz) measures weight (how heavy something is).
Think of it like this: a fluid ounce tells you the size of a container, while a regular ounce tells you how heavy its contents are.
For example, one fluid ounce of honey is much heavier than one fluid ounce of cooking oil because honey has a higher density.
The idea of the fluid ounce has a practical history.
In the British Imperial system, it was initially defined as the volume taken up by one ounce of water at a specific temperature.
This simple link between weight and volume made it a convenient and intuitive unit for measuring everyday liquids like water, wine, and ale for centuries.
A cubic meter (m3) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one thousand liters (1000 L).
It is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are exactly one meter long. The plural form is cubic meters.
It can be challenging to visualize a cubic meter in your mind. Still, a few everyday examples help clarify the concept. One cubic meter is roughly the size of:
The cubic meter (m3) is the SI unit for volume — the global standard used in science, engineering, and international trade.
Because it's based on the meter (the SI unit of length), it fits neatly into a consistent measurement system.
This makes it practical for measuring large amounts — from the concrete for a building to the capacity of a shipping container.
The cubic meter has a direct and valuable relationship with mass.
For example, one cubic meter of pure water at its maximum density has a mass of almost exactly 1,000 kilograms (or one metric ton).
The unit is also used in specialized fields. When measuring stacked firewood, a cubic meter is often called a "stere."
While it's not an official SI unit, the stere is still commonly used in the forestry and timber industries.
