What are Cubic Feet and Cubic Meters?
Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot is a unit of volume in the Imperial and US customary systems, representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of 1 foot. It’s commonly used in the United States for measuring volumes of spaces, materials, and shipping capacities.
Cubic Meter (m³)
A cubic meter is the SI derived unit of volume, representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of 1 meter. It’s used internationally in scientific, industrial, and commercial contexts.
The cubic meter is approximately 35.3 times larger than the cubic foot.
