How to convert cubic inches to cubic meters
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 m³.
m³ = in³ × 0.000016387064
Worked examples
10 in³ ≈ 0.00016387064 m³
Step 1: (10 × 0.000016387064) ≈ 0.00016387064 m³.
Step 2: 0.00016387064 ÷ 1 ≈ 0.00016387064 m³.20 in³ ≈ 0.00032774128 m³
Step 1: (20 × 0.000016387064) ≈ 0.00032774128 m³.
Step 2: 0.00032774128 ÷ 1 ≈ 0.00032774128 m³.
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.
About Cubic inches
