Cubic Inch Calculator Online

A cubic inch calculator simplifies the process of determining the volume of different objects and spaces. Whether you’re filling a space with material, fitting components together, or planning a project, knowing the volume in cubic inches can guide your decisions and ensure that resources are used efficiently. This tool is particularly beneficial for industries and hobbies where precise spatial measurement is crucial.

Formula of Cubic Inch Calculator

To effectively use a cubic inch calculator, it’s important to understand the formulas it uses. Here are the basic equations for the most common shapes:

For a rectangular prism (box):

V = l × w × h
V is the volume in cubic inches
l is the length in inches
w is the width in inches
h is the height in inches

For a cylinder:

V = πr²h
V is the volume in cubic inches
π (pi) is a mathematical constant (approximately 3.14159)
r is the radius of the cylinder's base in inches
h is the height of the cylinder in inches

Examples of Cubic Inch Calculator

Example 1: Rectangular Prism

If you need to calculate the volume of a box that is 12 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 10 inches high:

V = 12 × 8 × 10 = 960 cubic inches

Example 2: Cylinder

For a cylindrical water tank with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 20 inches:

V = π × 5² × 20 ≈ 1570 cubic inches
