Cubic Yard
/ˈkjuːbɪk jɑːd/
Symbol: yd³
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Cubic Yard?

The cubic yard is a unit of volume derived from the imperial system of units. It uses the symbol yd³.

It equals the volume of a cube with edges that each measure 1 yard. It is equivalent to 27 ft³, 46656 in³ or ≈ 0.764554 m³.

The yard (and derivatives like the cubic yard for example) are the same in both the imperial systems and US customary systems so require less conversion systems to calculate / convert to SI or metric.

What is the Peck?

The peck is a unit of volume in the US customary unit system. It uses the symbol pk.

1 US peck is equal to 1/4 of a US bushel. This is also equal to 2 US dry gallons, 8 US dry quarts or 16 US dry pints. In SI / metric, this equates to 8.809768 L.

Although the imperial peck is almost obsolete, it survives in some places in the USA - where some products (namely apples) are still sold by the peck.

It appears in the old English nursery rhyme; 'Peter Piper' where he 'picked a peck of pickled peppers'.
