FAQ
What is the conversion factor from in³/lb to m³/kg?
1 in³/lb equals 3.612729e-5 m³/kg. To convert, multiply the value in cubic inches per pound by 3.612729e-5.
How do I convert 1 in³/lb to m³/kg?
1 in³/lb = 3.61273e-5 m³/kg. For any value, multiply by 3.612729e-5.
How do I convert m³/kg back to in³/lb?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 27679.9. So 1 m³/kg = 27679.9 in³/lb.
When would I need to convert cubic inch per pound to cubic metre per kilogram?
Specific-volume conversions between in³/lb and m³/kg arise in steam-table lookups, compressible-flow analysis, and thermodynamic state-point work. Specific volume is the reciprocal of density and must not be confused with it — m³/kg and ft³/lb appear directly in property tables and equation-of-state solvers.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
