1 FBM = 2.359737216 dm³
1 dm³ ≈ 0.423776000658 FBM

Formula: dm³ = FBM × 2.359737216
FBM ≈ dm³ × 0.423776000658

Definitions: 1 FBM = 144 in³; 1 dm³ = 0.001 m³

The board foot (FBM, also written bd ft) is a lumber volume unit used in the United States and Canada. Sawmills and lumberyards price rough timber and hardwood by the board foot, and FBM stands for feet board measure.

The cubic decimeter (dm³) is the volume of a cube 10 cm on each side and equals exactly one liter. It is the SI-style way of writing liters and is common in technical and engineering contexts, particularly for tank and container volumes.
