VolumeSection modulusexact by definition
The cubic inch is the volume of a cube one inch on a side, exactly 1.6387064 × 10⁻⁵ m³ or about 16.39 mL. It survives in American engine displacement figures and in the definition of the US gallon, which is exactly 231 cubic inches. The factor is exact by definition.

As a unit of section modulus
The cubic inch is exactly 1.6387064 × 10⁻⁵ cubic metres, since the inch is exactly 0.0254 m. It is the section modulus unit of US steel design, where AISC tables list and in cubic inches. A W12×26 beam has an elastic section modulus of about 33.4 in³.
