| Convert from board foot to cubic meter |
Unit Definition (board foot) The board foot is a unit of volume used for measuring lumber. One board foot is the volume of a one-foot length of a "standard board" twelve inches wide by one inch thick. Thus a board foot equals 144 cubic inches, or 1/12 of a cubic foot, or approximately 2.360 liters. If lumber is stacked neatly, we can compute the number of board feet from the dimensions of the stack, no matter how wide or thick the boards are. For example, a stack of two-by-fours 4 ft high, 4 ft wide, and 8 ft long contains 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet, equivalent to 128 x 12 = 1536 board feet. The symbol fbm is an abbreviation for "foot, board measure." Unit Definition (cubic meter) The cubic meter is a SI unit of volume, equal to 10E6 cm3, 1000 liters, 35.3147 ft3, or 1.307 95 yd3. A cubic meter holds about 264.17 U.S. liquid gallons or 219.99 British Imperial gallons.
