How to Convert Liter to Cubic Foot
- 1 L = 0.03531466672 ft³
- 1 ft³ = 28.31684659 L
- Example: convert 15 L to ft³: 15 L = 15 × 0.03531466672 ft³ = 0.5297200008 ft³
Formula
ft³ = L × 0.03531466672149
or ft³ = L ÷ 28.316846592
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 L = 1 dm³ = (0.1 m)³ = 10⁻³ m³
- 1 ft³ = (0.3048 m)³ = 0.028316846592 m³
- 1 L = 0.001 m³ ÷ 0.028316846592 m³ per ft³ = 0.03531466672149 ft³
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Liter definition: liter; Cubic Foot definition: cubic foot.
Worked examples
- 28.3 L is almost exactly 0.9994050682 ft³.
28.3 L × 0.03531466672 = 0.9994050682 ft³ - A 500 L refrigerator has 17.65733336 ft³ of storage.
500 L × 0.03531466672 = 17.65733336 ft³
