How the Conversion Works

This calculator uses a two-step conversion process through liters (L) as the base unit, which is the standard unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).

Conversion Formula:

Step 1: Convert from ft³ to liters (L)

Value in L = Input value ÷ 0.0353147

Step 2: Convert from liters (L) to gal (Imp)

Result = Value in L × 0.219969

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 6.2288225583
Where 6.2288225583 is the conversion factor from ft³ to gal (Imp)

Example Calculation:

Let's convert 16 ft³ to gal (Imp):

16 ft³ ÷ 0.0353147 = 453.069119 L
453.069119 L × 0.219969 = 99.661161 gal (Imp)

Result: 16 ft³ = 99.661161 gal (Imp)
