The cubic inch (symbol in 3 ) is the unit of measurement for volumes in Imperial units and the general unit system of the United States. This is the volume of cubes with each of the three dimensions (length, width, and depth) to an inch long.
Cubic and cubic feet are still used as volume units in the United States, although the SI units of general, liter, milliliter and cubic meter are also used, especially in manufacturing and high technology.
One cubic foot equals 1,728 cubic inches for 12 3 = 1.728.

Cubic inch usage
Power box volume
Inch cubic was established decades ago as a conventional unit in North America to measure the volume of electrical boxes. Due to the extensive export of electrical equipment to other countries, some use of non-SI units can be found outside of North America.

North America
Cubic Inc. was previously used by the automotive industry and aircraft industry in North America (through the early 1980s) to express nominal engine displacement for new car engines, trucks, planes, etc. Cubic inches are still used for this purpose in the collection of classic cars. The automotive industry now uses liters for this purpose, while reciprocating engines used in commercial aircraft often have model numbers based on an inch cubic displacement. The fifth generation Ford Mustang has a Boss 302 version that reflects this legacy - with a five liter (302 cubic inch) engine similar to the original Boss. Chevrolet also revived this usage on its 427 Corvette. Dodge has a "Challenger 392" (conversion of a 6.4 liter V8 engine).
United Kingdom
In the UK, engine displacement is now denoted in liters. However, cubic inches are sometimes used in the past to show model numbers. An example is the Reliance AEC bus available with five different machines:
- AH470, 470 cubic inches, 7.7 liters
- AH505, 505 cubic inches, 8.1 liters
- AH590, 590 cubic inches, 9.6 liters
- AH691, 691 cubic inches, 11.3 liters
- AH760, 760 cubic inches, 12.4 liters
