About these units
Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot equals 28.31684659 liters, representing the volume of a cube one foot on each side. It is widely used in construction, real estate, natural gas metering, and HVAC systems. Room ventilation rates, airflow in ducts, and gas consumption often use cubic feet or cubic feet per minute (CFM). Storage capacity for freezers, shipping containers, and building materials also frequently uses this unit. The cubic foot's relationship to the foot makes it practical in industries where imperial length units still dominate.
CCF (ccf)
The abbreviation CCF stands for centum cubic feet, meaning 100 cubic feet. It is widely used by water and natural gas utilities to measure residential and industrial consumption. Water bills in many US cities list usage in CCF, balancing numerical convenience with practical scale. For example, a household may consume 5–12 CCF per month, depending on climate and household size. Because natural gas companies also use CCF, the unit plays a central role in energy billing, conservation programs, and environmental reporting. It is a key bridge between technical engineering measurements and everyday consumer usage.
