A cubic inch is a non-SI The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement devised around seven base units and the convenience of the number ten. It is the world's most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science unit A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a physical quantity, defined and adopted by convention and/or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same physical quantity. Any other value of the physical quantity can be expressed as a simple multiple of the unit of measurement of volume Volume is how much three-dimensional space a substance or shape occupies or contains, 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, equal to the volume of a cube In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of trigonal trapezohedron. The cube is dual to the with sides of one inch An inch is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, and United States customary units. There are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. A corresponding unit of area is the square inch and a corresponding unit of volume is the cubic inch. The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in.
Cubic inches are still sometimes used as a unit of measurement (in engineering contexts, not household contexts) in the United States ^ b. English is the de facto language of American government and the sole language spoken at home by 80% of Americans age five and older. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language and Canada The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled, along the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three, although SI is continuing to gradually displace non-SI usage.

Notation conventions
The following symbols are used to denote cubic inches:
- cubic in
- cu inches, cu inch, cu in
- inches/-3, inch/-3, in/-3
- inches^3, inch^3, in^3
- inches³ ,inch³, in³
- c.i., CI
- cui
- c.i.d., cid, CID —for cubic inch displacement Engine displacement is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine in a single movement from top dead centre to bottom dead centre (BDC). It is commonly specified in cubic centimeters (cc), litres (l), or (mainly in North America) cubic inches (CID). Motive power output of a combustion engine is in internal combustion engines The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine the expansion of the high temperature and pressure gases, which are produced by the combustion, directly applies force to a movable component of the engine, such as the
Equivalence with other units of volume
1 cubic inch (assuming an international inch An inch is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including Imperial units, and United States customary units. There are 36 inches in a yard and 12 inches in a foot. A corresponding unit of area is the square inch and a corresponding unit of volume is the cubic inch. The inch is usually the universal unit of measurement in) is equal to:
- 0.000578703703703 cubic feet The cubic foot is an imperial and US customary unit of volume, used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 m) in length (1 cu ft The cubic foot is an and US customary (non-metric) unit of volume, used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (0.3048 m) in length equals 1,728 cu in)

- about 0.069264069 U.S. cups The cup is a customary unit of measurement mainly used in North America for volume, used in cooking to measure liquids and bulk foods such as granulated sugar (dry measurement). This measure is usually used as an informal unit in cooking recipes rather than as a measure for the sale of foodstuffs; precision is rarely required
- about 0.000465025413 U.S. bushels A bushel is an imperial and U.S. customary unit of dry volume, equivalent in each of these systems to 4 pecks or 8 gallons. It is used for volumes of dry commodities , most often in agriculture. It is abbreviated as bsh. or bu. The name derives from the 14th century buschel or busschel, a box
- about 0.004329 U.S. liquid gallons The gallon is a measure of volume approximately equal to four litres. Historically it has had many different definitions, but there are three definitions in current use. In United States customary units there are the liquid and the lesser used dry (≈ 4.4 L) gallons. There is also the imperial gallon (≈ 4.55 L) which is in unofficial use within (1 gallon equals 231 cu in exactly [3 in × 7 in × 11 in])
- about 0.00010307 crude barrels A barrel or cask is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of vertical wooden staves and bound by wooden or metal hoops. Traditionally, the barrel was a standard size of measure referring to a set capacity or weight of a given commodity. For example, a beer barrel was originally a 36 gallon capacity while an ale barrel was a 32 gallon (1 barrel equals 42 gallons, or 9702 cu in)
- exactly 0.016387064 litres The litre is a unit of volume. There are two official symbols: the Latin letter L in lower and upper case (l and L). The lower case L is also often written as a cursive ℓ, though this symbol has no official approval by any international bureau. Although the litre is not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI, and has appeared in several (1 L is about 61 cu in [exactly 61.0237441 cu in])
- exactly 16.387064 millilitres or cubic centimetres A cubic centimetre (symbol cm3 — the abbreviation cc, though widely used, is deprecated) is a commonly used unit of volume extending the derived SI-unit cubic metre, and corresponds to the volume of a cube measuring 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of 1⁄1,000,000 of a cubic metre, or 1⁄1000 of a litre, or (which in turn are about 0.061 cu in)
- exactly 0.000016387064 cubic metres The cubic metre is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the volume of a cube with edges one metre in length. An alternative name, which allowed a different usage with metric prefixes, was the stère. Another alternative name, not widely used any more, is the kilolitre (1 m³ is about 61,023.75 cu in)
Uses of the cubic inch
Electrical box volume
The cubic inch was established decades ago as the conventional unit in the U.S. for measuring the volume of electrical boxes; SI has not yet replaced it for this purpose.
Engine displacement
The cubic inch was formerly used in the USA ^ b. English is the de facto language of American government and the sole language spoken at home by 80% of Americans age five and older. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language (until the 1980s) to express the nominal size (displacement) Engine displacement is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine in a single movement from top dead centre to bottom dead centre (BDC). It is commonly specified in cubic centimeters (cc), litres (l), or (mainly in North America) cubic inches (CID). Motive power output of a combustion engine is of engines (e.g. 426 HEMI) for new cars, trucks, etc. It is therefore still used for this purpose in the context of the classic-car hobby, auto racing, and so forth. The auto industry nowadays uses SI The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement devised around seven base units and the convenience of the number ten. It is the world's most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science for this purpose (e.g. 6.1 L HEMI).
