What Are Cubic Yards to Cubic Meters?
The conversion multiplies by 0.7645549. One cubic yard is 0.7645549 cubic meters. Ten cubic yards are 7.6455490 cubic meters at seven decimals. The result is a volume label. It does not say how deep a trench is, how many truckloads were ordered, or whether a pad passed a local rule.
Quick Answer
The volume factor is 0.7645549, the NIST Appendix B.8 line printed as 7.645 549 E-01. One cubic yard is 0.7645549 cubic meters. Ten cubic yards are 7.6455490 cubic meters at seven decimals. The factor is not called exact. A yard of length is a different row.
One factor, both directions
The NIST table prints 7.645 549 in the multiply-by column and E-01 in the exponent column. Read together, that is 0.7645549 cubic meters in one cubic yard. This page uses 0.7645549 so a cubic yard round-trips through cubic meters. It does not cube the length factor.
One cubic meter divided by 0.7645549 is the reverse cubic-yard count, shown at seven decimals on the worked table. The engine divided by 0.7645549. It did not use 0.9144.
Common cubic yard volumes
Each row multiplies by 0.7645549 and shows 7 decimal places. These are not recommended order quantities.

One cubic yard is 0.7645549 cubic meters. Three cubic yards are 2.2936647 cubic meters. Ten cubic yards are 7.6455490 cubic meters at seven decimals. The reverse of one cubic meter divides by 0.7645549.
| Case | Cubic yards | Cubic meters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic yard | 1.0000000 | 0.7645549 |
| 3 cubic yards | 3.0000000 | 2.2936647 |
| 10 cubic yards | 10.0000000 | 7.6455490 |
| 1 cubic meter | 1.3079505 | 1.0000000 |
A cubic yard is not a yard of length
Yards stated as meters, using 0.9144, stay on yards to meters. Cubic feet stated as cubic meters, using 0.02831685, stay on cubic feet to cubic meters. Gallons stated as cubic meters stay on gallons to cubic meters. This page has no 0.9144 and no 0.02831685.
How should you write the volume?
Write five lines before the number leaves this page. A later visit should not have to guess which volume was used.
- The entered value, and whether it was cubic yards or cubic meters.
- The factor, 0.7645549, named as the NIST line.
- Both results, at 7 decimals.
- Which ticket, log, or sheet the volume came from.
- A note that the yard length row and the cubic-foot row were not applied, and that the factor was not called exact.
What stays off this volume
Cubing 0.9144 is not a fetch of this cubic-yard line, and this page does not call a length and a volume the same number. The cubic-foot row on the same NIST page was not used.
A water treatment dealer who saves the 0.7645549 note will not swap in a length. This conversion does not price gravel and does not say a sample passed a county rule. A private-well lab sheet is still the well water testing guide. Pipe capacity stays on the pipe volume calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do cubic yards to cubic meters use 0.7645549?
Multiply cubic yards by 0.7645549. That is the NIST Appendix B.8 row for a cubic yard into a cubic meter, printed as 7.645 549 E-01. Divide cubic meters by the same factor to go back. The factor is not called exact, because boldface was not preserved.
Is 0.7645549 the yard length factor?
No. The yard length row on the same NIST page is 9.144 E-01, which is 0.9144 meters, used by the yards to meters converter. Cubing 0.9144 is not how this page reads the cubic-yard row. This page uses 0.7645549 only.
Does this page convert a cubic foot?
No. Cubic feet stated as cubic meters stay on the cubic feet to cubic meters converter, which uses 0.02831685. This tool does not use that factor.
What is one cubic yard in cubic meters?
One cubic yard is 0.7645549 cubic meters. Three cubic yards are 2.2936647 cubic meters. Ten cubic yards are 7.6455490 cubic meters at seven decimals. Those products use the printed NIST factor.
