CUBIC FOOT
A 'cubic foot' is an Imperial / U.S. customary (non-metric) unit of volume, used in the United States, Canada and the UK. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 foot (0.3048 m) in length.
There is no universally agreed symbol but the following are used:
★ cubic feet, cubic foot, cubic ft
★ cu ft, cu feet, cu foot
★ ft³, feet³, foot³
★ feet^3, foot^3, ft^3
★ feet/-3, foot/-3, ft/-3
★ CCF for 100 cubic feet (C denotes ''centum'', hundred)
★ MCF for 1,000 cubic feet (M denotes ''mil'', thousand)
★ TCF for 1 trillion cubic feet. Used in the oil and gas industry. The term trillion in this case refers to 1012, the short scale definition employed by most English speaking countries.
1 cubic foot is equivalent to:
★ 1728 cubic inches
★ 28.316846592 litres or 0.028316846592 cubic metres
★ ≈ 7.48051948 U.S. liquid gallons (exactly: 576/77 or 7480512/999999)
★ ≈ 957.50649350 U.S. fluid ounces (exactly: 73728/77)
★ ≈ 6.22883546 Imperial gallons or ≈ 996.61367 Imperial fluid ounces
★ ≈ 0.037037 cubic yards (exactly: 1/27)
★ ≈ 0.803563913 U.S. bushels
★ ≈ 0.1781076 oil barrels
A standard cubic foot (abbreviated 'scf') is a measure of quantity of gas, sometimes but not always defined as a cubic foot of volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) of pressure. See standard temperature and pressure.
★ 1 E-2 m³ for a comparison with other volumes
★ Orders of magnitude (volume)
★ Conversion of units
★ Cube (arithmetic), cube root
★ Square foot
