Enter cubic centimeters or cubic inches into the calculator to convert to the other value.
Assumptions Assumptions
- Conversions are volume-to-volume only—no mass or density adjustments.
- Unit standards used: 1 in³ = 16.387064 cm³; 1 ft³ = 28,316.846592 cm³; 1 US fl oz = 29.5735295625 cm³; 1 US gal = 3,785.411784 cm³; 1 L = 1,000 cm³; 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³; and 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
- US liquid measures are used (US fl oz and US gallon); UK/Imperial fluid measures are not supported.
When to Use This Calculator
- Converting engine displacement between cm³ and cubic inches.
- Translating tank, aquarium, or container volumes across metric and US customary units.
- Quickly switching between cm³/mL/L and in³/ft³/US gallons without separate charts.
Input Definitions
- Cubic Centimeters — choose cm³ directly, or enter mL (1:1), L (×1,000), or m³ (×1,000,000).
- Inches (Volume) — choose in³, ft³, US fluid ounces, or US gallons.
- Core conversions — in³ = cm³ ÷ 16.387064; cm³ = in³ × 16.387064. Also: 1 ft³ = 1,728 in³; 1 US gal = 231 in³; 1 US fl oz = 1.8046875 in³.
