About Cups
A cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp ≈ 236.6 mL - the fundamental unit of American cooking. Almost every US recipe uses cups for dry and liquid ingredients. The US customary cup (236.588 mL) differs from the US legal cup (240 mL, used in nutrition labelling) and the metric cup (Australia/Canada: 250 mL). Kitchen sets come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes. 2 cups = 1 US pint.
About Cubic Feet
A cubic foot (ft³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (30.48 cm), equal to approximately 28.317 liters. It is widely used in US construction, HVAC engineering, natural gas distribution, and real estate. Natural gas consumption is billed in cubic feet (Ccf = 100 ft³, Mcf = 1,000 ft³); refrigerator, oven, and storage compartment capacity are rated in cubic feet; and concrete or soil orders are quoted in cubic yards or cubic feet. One cubic foot of water weighs approximately 62.4 pounds. Air conditioning units are sized in BTU per hour for room volumes measured in cubic feet.
