Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot (ft³) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as the amount of space enclosed by a cube with one-foot sides. It originated in English-speaking regions where it became a standard for measuring materials and space, especially in construction and trade. Today, the cubic foot remains common in American industries such as real estate, heating and cooling (HVAC), and the measurement of natural gas. It is equal to about 28.316 liters, allowing for practical use in both domestic and industrial settings. Even though most of the world uses metric units, the cubic foot maintains its significance in various technical and commercial fields.
US Pint (pt)
The US pint, symbolized as pt, is equal to 1/8 of a US gallon, or approximately 473 milliliters. Derived from British units, it became standardized in the US after independence. Pints are commonly used for beverages like beer and milk in the United States. Unlike the British imperial pint (568 mL), the US pint is smaller, creating distinctions in international trade and cultural habits. Despite metrication globally, the pint remains a familiar and enduring unit of measurement in everyday American life.
