Cubic Feet - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Cubic Foot

A cubic foot (symbol ft3 or cu ft) is an imperial and US customary (non-metric) unit of volume, used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 meter) in length.

One cubic foot is equal to 1728 cubic inches, 0.037037 cubic yards, or 0.02831685 cubic meters.

History of the Cubic Foot

The cubic foot is derived from the foot, which is an ancient unit of length that was based on the length of a human foot. The foot was originally divided into 12 inches, and later into 16 digits or 4 palms. The foot was used in many different systems of measurement, such as the Roman, Egyptian, Greek, and English systems. The foot was standardized by King Henry I of England in the 12th century as the length of his own foot. The current definition of the foot, adopted in 1959, is based on the international yard, which is defined as 0.9144 meter.

The cubic foot was first used as a unit of volume for measuring wood in England in the 15th century. It was also used for measuring other materials and substances, such as stone, sand, coal, water, and air. The cubic foot was adopted as a standard unit of measure in the imperial system in 1824, along with other units such as the gallon, the bushel, and the barrel. The cubic foot was also used in the US customary system, which is similar but not identical to the imperial system. The cubic foot is still widely used today for various purposes, such as construction, engineering, commerce, and everyday life.

How to Convert Cubic Feet

To convert cubic feet to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

  • To convert cubic feet to cubic inches, multiply by 1728.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 1728 = 3456 in3
  • To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, multiply by 0.037037.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 0.037037 = 0.074074 yd3
  • To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, multiply by 0.02831685.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 0.02831685 = 0.0566337 m3
  • To convert cubic feet to liters, multiply by 28.3168466.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 28.3168466 = 56.6336932 L
  • To convert cubic feet to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 7.48051948.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 7.48051948 = 14.96103896 gal
  • To convert cubic feet to bushels (US), multiply by 0.803563954.
    • Example: 2 ft3 × 0.803563954 = 1.607127908 bu

To convert other units of volume to cubic feet, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

  • To convert cubic inches to cubic feet, divide by 1728.
    • Example: 3456 in3 ÷ 1728 = 2 ft3
  • To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, divide by 0.037037.
    • Example: 0.074074 yd3 ÷ 0.037037 = 2 ft3
  • To convert cubic meters to cubic feet, divide by 0.02831685.
    • Example: 0.0566337 m3 ÷ 0.02831685 = 2 ft3
  • To convert liters to cubic feet, divide by 28.3168466.
    • Example: 56.6336932 L ÷ 28.3168466 = 2 ft3
  • To convert gallons (US liquid) to cubic feet, divide by 7.48051948.
    • Example: 14.96103896 gal ÷ 7.48051948 = 2 ft3
  • To convert bushels (US) to cubic feet, divide by 0.803563954.
    • Example: 1.607127908 bu ÷ 0.803563954 = 2 ft3

Pints: A Unit of Volume

Pints are a unit of volume that are used to measure liquids, such as water, milk, beer, cider, etc. They are also used to measure some dry goods, such as flour, sugar, rice, etc. They are different from cups, which are a smaller unit of volume. They are also different from liters, which are a larger unit of volume. They are also different from barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), which is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

Definition of Pints

A pint is defined as a unit of volume or capacity in both the imperial and United States customary measurement systems. However, the size of a pint varies depending on the type of pint used:

  • A UK pint is equal to one eighth of a UK gallon in the imperial system of measurement. It is equivalent to 20 fluid ounces or 4 gills in the imperial system. A UK pint is also equal to 0.568 liters or 0.473 US liquid pints in the metric system.
  • A US liquid pint is equal to one eighth of a US liquid gallon in the US customary system of measurement. It is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces or 2 cups in the US customary system. A US liquid pint is also equal to 0.473 liters or 0.833 UK pints in the metric system.
  • A US dry pint is equal to one eighth of a US dry gallon in the US customary system of measurement. It is equivalent to 18.6 fluid ounces or 2.327 cups in the US customary system. A US dry pint is also equal to 0.551 liters or 0.969 UK pints in the metric system.

History of Pints

The origin of the term pint as a unit of measure is uncertain, but it may have derived from the Old French word pinte, which means a measure or quantity. Pints have been used since ancient times to store and transport various liquids and dry goods. The size and shape of pints varied depending on the type and quantity of the goods, the availability of materials, and the customs of different regions and countries.

The use of pints as a unit of measure dates back to the medieval times, when the European system of measurement was established. The standard size of these pints was based on the wine gallon, which was originally defined as the volume of eight pounds of wine at 62 °F. The pint was convenient for measuring and dividing smaller amounts of liquids and dry goods.

The use of pints as a unit of measure continued until the 20th century, when the metric system of measurement was adopted in most countries. The pint was gradually replaced by units such as liters, grams, etc. However, some countries and regions still use pints for certain types of liquids and dry goods, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom and Ireland and some Commonwealth nations.
