The cubic inch, cubic foot and cubic yard are commonly used for measuring volume. In addition, there is one group of units for measuring volumes of liquids (based on the wine gallon and subdivisions of the fluid ounce ), and one for measuring volumes of dry material , each with their own names and sub-units.
A cubic yard (symbol yd 3) [1] is an imperial / U.S. customary (non-SI non-metric) unit of volume used in Canada and the United States. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 yard (3 feet , 36 inches , 0.9144 meters ) in length .
One Sydney Harbour is the amount of water in Sydney Harbour: approximately 562 gigalitres (562,000,000 cubic metres, or 0.562 of a cubic kilometre); or in terms of the more unusual measures above, about 357 Melbourne Cricket Grounds, 238,000 Olympic Swimming pools, or 476,000 acre-feet.

The cubic inch and the cubic foot are used as units of volume in the United States, although the common SI units of volume, the liter, milliliter, and cubic meter, are also used, especially in manufacturing and high technology. One cubic inch is exactly 16.387 064 mL. One cubic foot is equal to exactly 1,728 cubic inches (28.316846592 L), as 12 ...
A traditional unit of volume for stone and other masonry. A perch of masonry is the volume of a stone wall one perch (16 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 5.03 metres) long, 18 inches (45.7 cm) high, and 12 inches (30.5 cm) thick. This is equivalent to exactly 24 + 3 ⁄ 4 cubic feet (0.92 cubic yards; 0.70 cubic metres; 700 litres).
The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...
