Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
The cubic meters to square feet conversion calculates the area coverage when you know the volume and height/depth of a material. This is particularly useful in construction, landscaping, and material estimation projects.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula first converts cubic meters to square meters by dividing by height, then converts square meters to square feet using the standard conversion factor.
Details: This conversion is essential for determining how much area a given volume of material will cover at a specific thickness. It's commonly used for concrete pouring, soil coverage, paint estimation, and other construction materials.
Tips: Enter the volume in cubic meters and the height/depth in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the equivalent area in square feet.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639?
A: This factor converts square meters to square feet (1 m² = 10.7639 ft²), which is necessary after converting cubic meters to square meters by dividing by height.
Q2: Can I use this for irregular shapes?
A: This calculation assumes a uniform thickness. For irregular shapes, you may need to calculate average height or divide into regular sections.
Q3: What if my height is in centimeters or inches?
A: Convert all measurements to meters first for accurate results, or adjust the formula accordingly.
Q4: Is this conversion accurate for all materials?
A: The mathematical conversion is accurate, but actual coverage may vary slightly based on material compaction and application method.
Q5: Can I convert back from square feet to cubic meters?
A: Yes, use the reverse calculation: Cubic Meters = (Square Feet × Height) / 10.7639
