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.
Have you ever found a delicious Scandinavian recipe that calls for a "matsked" of an ingredient and wondered what it means? You're in the right place!
The matsked (msk) is a common unit of volume in Nordic cooking.
This guide will quickly teach you how to convert matsked to milliliters (ml), tablespoons, and liters so that you can get back to baking.
For those in a hurry, here are the key matsked conversions:
The most important thing to know about the matsked is that it's the direct equivalent of a standard metric tablespoon.
This makes conversions incredibly simple.
In the metric system, a tablespoon is officially defined as 15 ml. Therefore, a matsked is also precisely 15 ml.
Because there are 1,000 milliliters in one liter, the math is straightforward: 0.015 L × 1,000 = 15 ml.
This means if your recipe calls for one matsked, you don't need special equipment. You can use a standard tablespoon to get the perfect measurement every time.
The term "matsked" gives a clue to its origin. It is the Swedish word for "tablespoon," breaking down into mat (food) and sked (spoon).
The plural form you might see in recipes is matskedar.
As a staple of the Swedish measurement system, the matsked is frequently used in traditional and modern recipes across Scandinavia. Understanding its origin helps clarify its use, making it easier to explore authentic Nordic cooking.
