Unit Information

Board Foot
/bɔːd fʊt/
Symbol: FBM
Unit System: Imperial

What is the Board Foot?

The board foot is a unit of volume derived from the imperial system of units with the symbol FBM.

1 board foot is equal to the volume of an object one foot in length, one foot wide and one inch thick. It is therefore equal to 1/12 ft³.

The board foot is the unit used to measure rough or planed lumber. For example 2 x 4 timber when planed actually only measures 1.5 in x 3.5 in. This takes into account the wastage when planing. The board feet measurement in this case would represent the wholesale amount. Where the loss in board feet (and planing) only applies to width and thickness, the actual length is used - as there is no loss when cutting lengths.

Cubic Centimetre
/ˈkjuːbɪkˈsɛntɪmiːtə/
Symbol: cm³
Unit System: SI

What is the Cubic Centimetre?

The cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter; US spelling) is a unit of volume and is derived from an SI unit with the symbol cm³.

There are 1000cm³ in 1 litre. 1 cubic inch is equal to 16.38706cm³.

The cubic centimetre is sometimes referred to as cc or ccm - for example when administering drugs in a liquid solution. This is due to its relatively small size.

It is also often used in the 'cc' form to express the size of a petrol or diesel engine and represents the total displacement volume of the engine.
