5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this conversion the same for US and UK fluid ounces?
A: No, this calculator uses US fluid ounces. UK fluid ounces are slightly larger (1 cubic inch = 0.576744 UK fl oz).

Q2: How many cubic inches are in one fluid ounce?
A: 1 US fluid ounce equals approximately 1.80469 cubic inches.

Q3: Why is the conversion factor not a round number?
A: The conversion comes from the definition of a US gallon (231 cubic inches) divided by 128 (ounces per gallon).

Q4: Is this conversion valid for all liquids?
A: Yes, this is a volume conversion and works for any liquid, though the weight would vary by density.

Q5: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion factor is precise to 9 decimal places, though practical applications rarely need more than 4 decimal places.
