1 dm³ ≈ 0.423776000658 FBM
1 FBM = 2.359737216 dm³

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

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

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.

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.
