Parisian cubic inches

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parisian cubic inch was a reference unit for volume throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries (in the pre-metric era) . It measured 1 Paris inch each in length × width × height.

Since the meter was defined as a length of exactly 443.296 Parisian lines in 1799 , the Paris inch has a length of exactly 37513853 meters (≈ 27.07 mm). Previously, the level was subject to regional fluctuations.

  • 1 Paris foot = 12 Paris inches = 144 Paris lines ≈ 32.484 cm
  • 1 Parisian cubic foot = 1728 Parisian cubic inches
  • 1 Paris cubic inches = 1,728 cubic Paris lines = 52734375 / 2.658.468.401.477 cubic meters ≈ 19.8364 cubic centimeter
  • 1 liter ≈ 50.412438 Parisian cubic inches
  • 1 centiliter ≈ 0.50412438 Parisian cubic inch, rounded a little over ½ Parisian cubic inch
