What is a metric cup?

A metric cup is a volume unit defined as exactly 250 millilitres, commonly used in countries with metric volume measurements for cooking and nutrition.

Why convert cups (metric) to cubic inches?

Converting helps translate culinary volume measures into Imperial/US customary units used in fields like automotive engineering and small part manufacturing.

Is the conversion always exact?

The conversion is exact based on the defined units, but practical use may involve rounding and regional differences in cup size.
