A cubic centimeter (cm3) is a fundamental unit of volume in the metric system.
It is equal to one-thousandth of a liter. The plural form is cubic centimeters.
A cubic centimeter is exactly equal to one milliliter (1 cm3 = 1 mL).
Because they are identical, converting between cm3 and mL is a simple one-to-one conversion.
This crucial equivalence is widely used in science, particularly in chemistry and medicine, as well as in everyday tasks like cooking.
The abbreviation "cc" is a common substitute for cubic centimeters, especially in the medical and automotive fields.
In Medicine: A cc is used to measure dosages of liquid medicine for injections. For example, a syringe labeled "10cc" can hold 10 cubic centimeters (or 10 mL) of fluid.
In Automotive: In the car world, cc refers to an engine's displacement—the total volume of all its cylinders. A "1500cc engine" has cylinders that can displace 1500 cubic centimeters of air and fuel.
To visualize the volume of a single cubic centimeter, imagine a small cube with each side measuring exactly 1 centimeter in length, width, and height.
This is about the size of a standard sugar cube or a small die used in board games.
Understanding this physical size helps in estimating volumes and appreciating the unit's scale in practical situations.
A tablespoon (often abbreviated as Tbs or tbsp) is a common unit of volume used in cooking and baking.
In the US customary system, one tablespoon is equal to 0.5 fluid ounces (fl oz).
The most essential kitchen conversion to remember is that one tablespoon is equal to exactly three teaspoons.
This simple formula (1 tbsp = 3 tsp) is crucial for getting your recipes right, especially when you don't have a complete set of measuring spoons.
When following recipes from around the world or using a kitchen scale, you'll need the metric conversion.
A standard United States tablespoon is equal to approximately 15 milliliters (ml).
While the precise measurement is 14.787 ml, it is universally rounded to 15 ml for culinary convenience.
It's important to know that a tablespoon's volume can vary by country, which can affect your recipe. Always check where your recipe comes from!
