Cubic inches to cubic centimeters

Type a value in in³ to get it in cm³ instantly.

1,638.706cm³

That's 2.9× as strong in bending as an IPE 300 steel beam, while a W14×90 column is 1.43× stronger in bending. In S235 steel it reaches yield at about 385.1 kN·m of bending.

What it means

How strong is that beam?

The moment uses a stress of 235 MPa, the yield of S235 steel (A36 is 250 MPa), with no safety factor. Design to your code.

The math

How to convert in³ to cm³

To convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters, multiply by 16.3871.

Example: 100 in³ × 16.3871 = 1,638.71 cm³.

In the other direction, 1 cm³ = 0.0610237 in³.
