How to convert cubic inches to cubic feet
A board foot is 1 square foot by 1 inch thick. Use actual dimensions for physical volume. Nominal lumber sizes, stacked cords, pallets, and ties need dimensions or packing assumptions and are excluded.
Use x for the value in in³, b for the intermediate value in m³, and y for the result in ft³.
ft³ = in³ × 0.000016387064 ÷ 0.028316846592000004
Worked examples
10 in³ ≈ 0.00578703703704 ft³
Step 1: (10 × 0.000016387064) ≈ 0.00016387064 m³.
Step 2: 0.00016387064 ÷ 0.028316846592 ≈ 0.00578703703704 ft³.20 in³ ≈ 0.0115740740741 ft³
Step 1: (20 × 0.000016387064) ≈ 0.00032774128 m³.
Step 2: 0.00032774128 ÷ 0.028316846592 ≈ 0.0115740740741 ft³.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
