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 cubic millimeter (mm3) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-millionth of a liter (10-6 L). The plural form is "cubic millimeters."
A cubic millimeter (mm3) is a tiny unit of volume, representing one-millionth of a liter.
To be exact, there are 1,000,000 cubic millimeters in a single liter.
This also means that a milliliter (mL), a more common unit for small liquid volumes, is equivalent to 1,000 cubic millimeters (1 mL = 1,000 mm3). This direct relationship is fundamental in fields like chemistry and medicine for precise measurements.
A cubic millimeter is tiny — about the same size as a single grain of fine table salt or sugar.
That everyday comparison makes it easier to visualize this microscopic unit, which plays a crucial role in scientific research and precision engineering.
The cubic millimeter is a critical unit of measurement across various specialized fields. Key applications include:
