1. What is Volume of Rectangular Box Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of a rectangular box in liters based on its dimensions in centimeters.

Purpose: It helps in determining the capacity of containers, packaging, or any rectangular space in liters.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( V_L \) — Volume in liters
• \( L \) — Length in centimeters
• \( W \) — Width in centimeters
• \( H \) — Height in centimeters

Explanation: The product of length, width and height gives volume in cubic centimeters, which is converted to liters by dividing by 1000 (since 1 liter = 1000 cm³).

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is essential for packaging design, liquid storage capacity, shipping calculations, and space planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure and enter the internal dimensions of the box in centimeters. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why divide by 1000?
A: Because 1 liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters. The division converts cm³ to liters.

Q2: Can I use meters instead of centimeters?
A: Yes, but you would multiply by 1000 instead of dividing (1 m³ = 1000 liters).

Q3: Does this work for irregular shapes?
A: No, this only works for perfect rectangular boxes. For irregular shapes, use water displacement method.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise for perfect rectangles. Accuracy depends on your measurement precision.

Q5: What if my box has thickness?
A: Use internal dimensions for capacity calculation, or external dimensions for shipping volume.
