About Cubic foot (ft³)
A cubic foot (ft³) is the volume of a cube with 1-foot sides, equal to approximately 28.317 liters or 7.48 US gallons. It is used in the United States for natural gas billing, refrigerator capacity, aquarium size, concrete orders, and shipping container dimensions. Refrigerators are rated in cubic feet of storage, natural gas consumption is billed in cubic feet, and HVAC airflow is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM).
A full-size refrigerator is typically 18–28 ft³. Natural gas is billed in CCF (hundreds of cubic feet) in the US.
About Imperial pint (imp pt)
The imperial pint is a unit of volume equal to one eighth of an imperial gallon, approximately 568.3 milliliters (20 imperial fluid ounces). It is the standard serving size for draft beer and cider in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Despite UK metrication, the pint survives as the legally mandated unit for selling draft beer and milk in UK pubs and shops. The imperial pint is notably 20% larger than the US liquid pint (473 mL).
A pint of beer in a UK or Irish pub is exactly 568 mL (1 imperial pint). A UK pint of milk is 568 mL.
Cubic foot – Frequently Asked Questions
How many liters are in a cubic foot?
One cubic foot equals approximately 28.317 liters. Since 1 foot = 30.48 cm, 1 ft³ = 30.48³ cm³ = 28,316.8 cm³ = 28.317 liters.
Why is natural gas measured in cubic feet in the US?
The US gas industry adopted cubic feet before metrication became widespread. Natural gas is billed in CCF (hundred cubic feet) or therms (≈ 100 ft³ by energy content). Metric countries use cubic meters.
What does cubic feet mean for refrigerators?
Refrigerator capacity is rated in cubic feet of internal storage. A compact dorm fridge is 1–4 ft³; a standard family fridge is 18–22 ft³; a large French door model can exceed 28 ft³.
What is CFM (cubic feet per minute)?
CFM measures volumetric airflow rate. HVAC systems, range hoods, and fans are rated in CFM. A typical home range hood requires 100–600 CFM; a whole-home HVAC system might move 2,000 CFM.
How many US gallons are in a cubic foot?
One cubic foot equals approximately 7.48 US liquid gallons. This is commonly used in plumbing, aquarium sizing, and pool volume calculations.
Imperial pint – Frequently Asked Questions
How many milliliters is a UK pint?
One imperial (UK) pint equals exactly 568.26 mL (20 imperial fluid ounces). A UK pint glass holds just over half a liter.
Why is beer still sold by the pint in the UK?
The UK is legally permitted to sell draft beer and cider in pints under exemptions to metrication rules. The pint is a protected official supplementary unit for draft alcohol. Milk may also be sold in pints.
Is an Irish pint the same as a UK pint?
Yes, an Irish pint is an imperial pint — 568 mL. A pint at an Irish pub is 20 imperial fluid ounces, identical to a UK pint.
How does an Australian pint compare to a UK pint?
In Australian pubs, a "pint" is technically 568 mL, but serving sizes vary by state. In South Australia and Western Australia, a "pint" is actually 425 mL. Australian glassware terminology is notoriously inconsistent.
How many fluid ounces are in an imperial pint?
One imperial pint equals exactly 20 imperial fluid ounces. A US pint equals 16 US fluid ounces. The fluid ounce sizes also differ slightly (28.41 mL imperial vs 29.57 mL US), compounding the pint size difference.
