Cubic Foot to Liter Converter

A cubic foot (ft³) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of exactly one foot, approximately 28.317 liters. It provides a practical volume measurement for larger spaces and materials in imperial systems.

The cubic foot developed with the imperial system as a natural extension of linear foot measurements into three-dimensional space. It became standard for measuring room volumes, construction materials, and gas quantities in countries using imperial units.

Cubic feet are widely used for room volumes, construction materials, natural gas measurements, and shipping volumes. They're standard for HVAC calculations, lumber quantities, appliance capacities, and residential space measurements in imperial systems.

A liter (L) is a unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³), commonly used for measuring liquids and gases. It provides a practical scale for everyday volume measurements and is widely accepted alongside SI units.

The liter was originally defined in 1795 during the French Revolution as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density. It became widely adopted for liquid measurements and was redefined in 1964 as exactly one cubic decimeter to align with SI units.

Liters are extensively used for liquid measurements, beverage containers, fuel quantities, and everyday volume measurements. They're standard for drink packaging, automotive fuel, cooking measurements, and consumer product volumes worldwide.
