A cubic inch (in3) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
One cubic inch is equal to about 0.554 fluid ounces (fl oz).
One cubic inch is precisely equal to 16.387064 cubic centimeters (cm3).
This exact conversion is legally defined and crucial in fields like engineering, science, and international manufacturing, where precision is paramount.
It enables the direct and accurate translation of volume measurements between the imperial system (common in the US) and the metric system, which is used worldwide.
The cubic inch is famously used to measure an engine's displacement (often abbreviated as CID), especially in American automotive history.
Engine displacement refers to the total volume of air and fuel that an engine's cylinders can move through in one cycle.
A higher CID, such as in the classic "454" (454 in3) V8 engines, typically meant more potential for power and torque, defining the era of American muscle cars.
To visualize a cubic inch, think of a small, common object.
A standard six-sided die used in board games is a perfect example, having a volume very close to one cubic inch.
A small sugar cube or a standard marble also provides a good real-world approximation of this unit of volume, making it easier to conceptualize its size beyond abstract numbers.
A cubic millimeter (mm3) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-millionth of a liter (10-6 L). The plural form is "cubic millimeters."
A cubic millimeter (mm3) is a tiny unit of volume, representing one-millionth of a liter.
To be exact, there are 1,000,000 cubic millimeters in a single liter.
This also means that a milliliter (mL), a more common unit for small liquid volumes, is equivalent to 1,000 cubic millimeters (1 mL = 1,000 mm3). This direct relationship is fundamental in fields like chemistry and medicine for precise measurements.
A cubic millimeter is tiny — about the same size as a single grain of fine table salt or sugar.
That everyday comparison makes it easier to visualize this microscopic unit, which plays a crucial role in scientific research and precision engineering.
The cubic millimeter is a critical unit of measurement across various specialized fields. Key applications include:
