Toast Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 A few weeks ago there was a thread on converting between liters to cubic inches for pack volume. I've tried searching, but I can't find it. Can anybody help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawgoddess Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 don't have time to find your thread, but i think generally to find liters, divide cubic inches by 61 and to find cubic inches, multiply liters by 61. not "exact" but should be close enough.

lummox Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 even a stupid fuckin lummox knows 1inch=2.54cm therefore 1cubic inch = 2.54*2.54*2.54cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa_Eagle Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I just remember that 50 liters is about 3000 cubic inches, and extrapolate from there. That gives me a rough estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleblebleb Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I just remember that it doesn't really matter unless the thing fits, so I'll have to go try it on anyway, so I might as well just eyeball the size when the time comes Cubic inches, fluid ounces, cubic ounces, fluid inches, badabing, 5 years in the states and still can't make head nor tails of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleblebleb Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Wow, that was a fun game. Proves my theory, that on cc.com every old boring thread can take an interesting turn (and invariably wind up in spray ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjain Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 There are web sites that calculate this for you. Just do a google search for "metric conversion calculator." I like this one: http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
