Conversion Formula
The formula to convert cubic inches (ci) to liters (L) is:
Liters = Cubic Inches × 0.0163871
This works because one cubic inch is the volume of a cube with edges of one inch each, which equals 16.3871 milliliters or 0.0163871 liters. Multiplying the cubic inches by 0.0163871 converts the volume into liters.
Example: Convert 426 ci to liters:
- Multiply 426 by 0.0163871
- 426 × 0.0163871 = 6.9824046 liters
- Rounded to four decimal places, it is 6.9824 liters
Conversion Example
- Convert 500 ci to liters:
- Multiply 500 × 0.0163871
- 500 × 0.0163871 = 8.19355 liters
- Result is approximately 8.1936 liters
- Convert 350 ci to liters:
- 350 × 0.0163871 = 5.735485 liters
- Rounded to 5.7355 liters
- Convert 1000 ci to liters:
- 1000 × 0.0163871 = 16.3871 liters
- Convert 275 ci to liters:
- 275 × 0.0163871 = 4.50645 liters
- Rounded to 4.5065 liters

Conversion Definitions
ci (cubic inch): A cubic inch is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the space occupied by a cube with edges measuring exactly one inch in length. Used frequently in engine displacement and small volume measurements.
Liters: A liter is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters or one cubic decimeter. It is widely used for measuring liquids, capacities, and volumes in everyday and scientific contexts, and forms the base unit in many volume conversions.
Conversion FAQs
Can I convert cubic inches to liters without a calculator?
Yes, you can do rough conversions by remembering that 1 ci roughly equals 0.0164 liters. Multiplying by 0.0164 gives an approximate value. For more precision, especially with large values like 426 ci, a calculator or conversion tool is helpful.
Why is the conversion factor 0.0163871 used?
This factor comes from the exact volume of one cubic inch expressed in liters. Because 1 inch equals 2.54 cm, a cubic inch equals (2.54 cm)^3 = 16.3871 cubic centimeters, and since 1 liter equals 1,000 cubic centimeters, dividing gives 0.0163871 liters per cubic inch.
Is there a difference between US and UK cubic inches for liters?
No, the cubic inch is standardized internationally, so conversion to liters is consistent regardless of country. However, fluid volume measurements like gallons differ between US and UK, but cubic inches remain the same unit.
Does temperature affect the conversion from ci to liters?
The conversion between ci and liters is purely mathematical and volume-based, so temperature does not affect the calculation. However, physical volume of liquids might change with temperature, but the unit conversion remains constant.
How accurate is the conversion factor 0.0163871?
The factor 0.0163871 is exact based on the definition of an inch and the liter. It provides very high accuracy for conversions between cubic inches and liters except for rounding errors when displayed with limited decimal places.
