How It Works

Converting from cubic inches (in³) to cubic centimeters (cm³) is a common volume conversion, especially in engineering, manufacturing, and when working with engine displacements.

Conversion Formula:

1 cubic inch = 16.387064 cubic centimeters

To convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters, multiply the cubic inch value by 16.387064:

Cubic Centimeters = Cubic Inches × 16.387064

Example Calculation:

To convert 5 cubic inches to cubic centimeters:

Cubic Centimeters = 5 in³ × 16.387064 = 81.93532 cm³

Our converter handles this calculation automatically and provides results with up to 9 decimal places for precision. It also formats the result to remove unnecessary trailing zeros for better readability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cubic inch?

A cubic inch (in³) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to the volume of a cube with edges of one inch. It’s commonly used in the United States and some other countries for measuring volumes in engineering, manufacturing, and for engine displacements.

What is a cubic centimeter?

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a metric unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with edges of one centimeter. It’s equivalent to one milliliter (mL) and is commonly used worldwide for measuring small volumes in scientific, medical, and engineering contexts.

Why would I need to convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters?

This conversion is commonly needed when working with international standards, in scientific contexts, or when dealing with products manufactured in different countries. For example, engine displacements are often specified in cubic inches in the US but in cubic centimeters or liters elsewhere.

Are cubic centimeters the same as milliliters?

Yes, 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) is exactly equal to 1 milliliter (mL). They are different names for the same volume. Cubic centimeters are often used for solid volumes, while milliliters are typically used for liquid volumes, but they are interchangeable in terms of measurement.

How accurate is this converter?

Our converter uses the standard conversion factor of 16.387064 cubic centimeters per cubic inch, which is accurate to the commonly accepted international standard. The calculator can display results with up to 9 decimal places for high precision needs.

How do I convert cubic centimeters back to cubic inches?

To convert from cubic centimeters to cubic inches, divide the cubic centimeter value by 16.387064 (or multiply by 0.0610237). Alternatively, you can use our Cubic Centimeter to Cubic Inch Converter for quick and accurate conversions.
