Volume Converters
Volume is derived from length. Because the unit of length is the meter, and volume is m · m · m, the unit of volume (V) is m3. In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of volume is the cubic metre (m3). The metric system also includes the litre (L) as a unit of volume, where one litre is the volume of a 10-centimetre cube.
This metric system conversion calculator for volume can be used for converting from:
- cubic meters to cubic inches
- gallons to liters
- pints to liters
- quarts into milliliter
- And many more
Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i. e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces.
