Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Hi Franhark,
It is not possible to convert m3 to m2.
m3 is a measurement of volume.
m2 is a measurement of area.

One gallon cannot be converted to "x" feet2.
Similarly 1 m3 cannot be expressed as a value in m2.

Hi Franhark,

You CAN convert M3 to M2. To do this, you need to divide the m3 by your thickness or height.

Formula:
m3 / thk = m2
m3 / hght = m2

eg:

13.01 m3 pack of 28mm thickness wood, would be

13.01 / 0.028 = m2 (464.642 m2)

Note:
Make sure when you divide by your thickness/height, you convert it to a meter value first.
