About Cubic Inch to Fluid Ounce Conversion

Converting cubic inch to fluid ounce comes up frequently in cooking, chemistry, medicine, and engineering. A recipe written in metric units may need to be adapted for a kitchen using fluid ounce, or a laboratory protocol may specify volumes in cubic inch that need to be measured with equipment calibrated in fluid ounce.

In everyday use, knowing that 5 in³ = 2.771 fl oz and 10 in³ = 5.541 fl oz covers most common situations. For bulk calculations, 100 in³ = 55.41 fl oz is a useful anchor. The reverse conversion — fluid ounce back to cubic inch — uses the factor 1.805, so 1 fl oz = 1.805 in³.

All conversions use the internationally recognized factor of exactly 1 in³ = 0.5541 fl oz. Calculations are performed in IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, giving accuracy to at least 8 significant figures — more than sufficient for any practical application.

Quick Answer

Formula: Fluid Ounce = Cubic Inch × 0.55411433

Multiply any cubic inch value by 0.55411433 to get fluid ounce. One cubic inch equals 0.55411433 fl oz.

Reverse: Cubic Inch = Fluid Ounce × 1.8046817

Worked Examples

One cubic inch
1 in³ × 0.55411433 = 0.55411433 fl oz
1 in³ = 0.5541 fl oz.
One fluid ounce
1.805 in³ × 0.55411433 = 1.0001764 fl oz
1.805 in³ = 1 fl oz.
One US gallon
231 in³ × 0.55411433 = 128.00041 fl oz
231 in³ = 128 fl oz = 1 gallon.
Soda can (12 fl oz)
21.7 in³ × 0.55411433 = 12.024281 fl oz
21.7 in³ = 12 fl oz = 355 mL.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Cubic Inch and Fluid Ounce

Cubic Inch (in³)

The cubic inch is the volume of a cube with one-inch sides, equal to exactly 16.387064 mL. It belongs to US customary and British Imperial systems, in practical use since the 17th century.

Cubic inches appear most often in engine displacement for small engines and in precision machining for material volume calculations.

Interesting fact: A standard 12-fluid-ounce US soda can has a volume of about 21.7 cubic inches.

Fluid Ounce (fl oz)

The US fluid ounce is defined as 1/128 of a US gallon, exactly 29.5735 mL. The US and UK fl oz differ: the US is 29.57 mL while the Imperial fl oz is 28.41 mL.

Fluid ounces appear on every US beverage container: a soda can is 12 fl oz, a water bottle is 16.9 fl oz, and a US shot glass is 1.5 fl oz.

Interesting fact: Despite sharing the name 'ounce', the fluid ounce measures volume, not weight. One fl oz of water weighs about 1.04 oz, but one fl oz of honey weighs about 1.5 oz.
