How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Cubic Inch
- 1 cm³ = 0.06102374409 in³
- 1 in³ = 16.387064 cm³
- Example: convert 15 cm³ to in³: 15 cm³ = 15 × 0.06102374409 in³ = 0.9153561614 in³
Formula
in³ = cm³ × 0.06102374409473
or in³ = cm³ ÷ 16.387064
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³ = (0.01 m)³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL
- 1 in³ = (0.0254 m)³ = 1.6387064 × 10⁻⁵ m³ = 16.387064 cm³
- 1 cm³ = 0.000001 m³ ÷ 0.000016387064 m³ per in³ = 0.06102374409473 in³
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter; Cubic Inch definition: cubic inch.
Worked examples
- A 1600 cm³ engine displaces 97.63799055 in³.
1600 cm³ × 0.06102374409 = 97.63799055 in³ - 1000 cm³ (one litre) is 61.02374409 in³.
1000 cm³ × 0.06102374409 = 61.02374409 in³
