About Converting Short tons per Cubic foot to Short tons per Cubic Meter
Short ton per Cubic foot and Short ton per Cubic Meter both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
short tons per cubic meter = short tons per cubic foot × 35.3146667215
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per cubic foot equals 32036.9267479 base units, and 1 short ton per cubic meter equals 907.18474 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per cubic foot-to-short ton per cubic meter factor of 35.3146667215.
Simple example
1 ton/ft3 × 35.31466672 = 35.31466672 ton/m3
1 short ton per cubic foot = 35.31466672 short tons per cubic meter.
Real-world example
1,000 ton/ft3 × 35.31466672 = 35,314.66672 ton/m3
1,000 short tons per cubic foot = 35,314.66672 short tons per cubic meter.

Frequently asked questions
How many short tons per cubic meter are in 1 short ton per cubic foot?
1 short ton per cubic foot equals 35.31466672 short tons per cubic meter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert short ton per cubic foot to short ton per cubic meter?
Multiply the short ton per cubic foot value by 35.31466672. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert short ton per cubic meter back to short ton per cubic foot?
Use the reverse factor: 1 short ton per cubic meter equals 0.0283168466 short tons per cubic foot. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a short ton per cubic foot?
Short ton per Cubic foot (ton/ft3) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per cubic meter?
Short ton per Cubic Meter (ton/m3) is a unit of density.
Is the short ton per cubic foot to short ton per cubic meter conversion exact?
