This tool will help you easily convert square feet into cubic meters for concrete calculations.
How to Use the Square Feet to Cubic Meters Concrete Calculator
To use this calculator, enter the length, width, and depth of the area you wish to calculate the concrete volume for. Length and width should be in feet, and depth should be in inches.
Click the “Calculate” button, and the result section will display the calculated values for:
- Length in feet
- Width in feet
- Depth in feet (converted from inches)
- Volume in cubic feet
- Volume in cubic meters
Explanation of Calculation
The calculation process converts the specified area dimensions from square feet to cubic meters for concrete usage. The depth input is taken in inches and converted to feet to maintain consistent units. The formula used is:
Length (feet) × Width (feet) × Depth (feet) = Volume (cubic feet)
This volume in cubic feet is then converted to cubic meters using the conversion factor where 1 cubic foot equals 0.0283168 cubic meters.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator assumes rectangular geometry and does not account for any complex shapes or designs. For more intricate projects, it is recommended to consult with a professional. Additionally, this calculator rounds off the results to two decimal places for simplicity.
