The cubic metre is the main metric unit of volume, being a derived unit of the metre.

Unit System

SI Metric

Definition

The cubic metre is the SI derived unit of volume. It is derived from the metre, the SI derived unit of length. It is the volume of a cube with edges one metre in length.

Base Unit

Metre

Abbreviation

Formal: m3

The abbreviations cu m, cubic m and cu metres are sometimes seen.

Information

The cubic metre is the standard unit of area in the SI metric system other units of volume in the SI system are generally based on the cubic metre with other SI standard prefixes. Note that as the unit is cubed, the factor for the prefix is triple the usual factor. i.e a centimetre is 10-2 metres thus a cubic centimetre is 10-6 cubic metres.

The following abbreviations are common cu ft and ft3. Many other abbreviations are sometimes seen including cu feet, cu foot, cu.ft., ft^3, cubic ft, cbf, cbft, cb.ft.

Information

The cubic foot is an Imperial and US Customary unit of area still in use in the United States. In the United Kingdom where the unit originated it is still occasionally seen.

Cubic feet are used for gas and water billing in the United States of America where billing units of 100 cubic feet are used. These units are given the tag CCF or HCF where the C stands for Centum (latin for hundred) and the H stands for Hundred.

Cubic feet are also commonly used for household appliance sizes in the US, including sizes for refridgerators, washers, dishwashers, ovens and microwave ovens.
