About Cubic Meter and Cubic Foot
The cubic meter is the SI derived unit of volume: 1,000 liters. Construction (concrete, excavation), water utilities, and freight all bill by the cubic meter. The cubic foot is exactly 28.316846592 liters. US appliances (refrigerators, freezers), natural gas billing, and HVAC airflow (CFM) are specified in cubic feet. One Cubic Meter equals 35.31466672 Cubic Feet (1 m3 = 35.31466672 ft3). Cubic Meter is used in concrete and excavation quantities and in household water billing. Cubic Foot is used in US refrigerator and freezer capacity.
Precision and Rounding:US and imperial volume units share names but differ in size (an imperial gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon), so confirm which system a figure uses before converting. Kitchen work tolerates rounding to the nearest milliliter or quarter-teaspoon; fuel, chemistry, and brewing need three or more decimal places.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
