Conversion Formula
The formula to convert cubic inches (ci) to liters is:
Liters = Cubic Inches × 0.0163871
This works because one cubic inch is exactly 0.0163871 liters. You multiply the volume in cubic inches by this factor to get the equivalent volume in liters.
For example, converting 427 ci:
- Start with 427 ci
- Multiply by 0.0163871 liters/ci
- 427 × 0.0163871 = 7.0006 liters
So, 427 cubic inches equals about 7.0006 liters.
Conversion Example
- Convert 300 ci to liters:
- Take 300 ci
- Multiply by 0.0163871 → 300 × 0.0163871 = 4.9161 liters
- The result is 4.9161 liters
- Convert 500 ci to liters:
- 500 × 0.0163871 = 8.1936 liters
- This shows 500 ci is 8.1936 liters
- Convert 150 ci to liters:
- 150 × 0.0163871 = 2.4581 liters
- So, 150 ci equals 2.4581 liters
- Convert 1000 ci to liters:
- 1000 × 0.0163871 = 16.3871 liters
- This means 1000 ci is 16.3871 liters
- Convert 250 ci to liters:
- 250 × 0.0163871 = 4.0968 liters
- Therefore, 250 ci corresponds to 4.0968 liters

Conversion Definitions
ci (cubic inch): A cubic inch is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the volume of a cube with sides of one inch length. It is often used to measure small volumes in manufacturing, engine displacement, and packaging.
Liters: A liter is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter (10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm). It is widely used globally for liquid and gas measurements in everyday life, science, and industry. One liter equals 1000 milliliters.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 0.0163871 used as the factor to convert ci to liters?
This number comes from the exact volume of a cubic inch expressed in liters. Since one inch equals 2.54 cm, one cubic inch equals (2.54 cm)³ = 16.3871 cubic centimeters. As 1 liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters, 1 ci = 16.3871 / 1000 = 0.0163871 liters.
Can I convert liters back to cubic inches using the same factor?
You can, but you must invert the factor. To convert liters to cubic inches, divide the liters by 0.0163871 or multiply by about 61.0237. This reverses the conversion properly.
Is the conversion factor exact or approximate?
The factor 0.0163871 is exact based on international standards for length and volume. Minor rounding happens in calculations but the value itself is fixed by definition of inch and liter.
What if I have fractional cubic inches, can I convert them to liters?
Yes, fractional values convert the same way by multiplying the fractional ci by 0.0163871. The resulting liters can be decimals to many decimal places depending on precision needed.
Does temperature affect the conversion between ci and liters?
No, the conversion is purely geometric and unit based, so temperature has no effect. However, volume of substances measured can change with temperature, but the unit conversion stays constant.
