Cubic Centimeters (cm³)

Definition

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with 1 cm sides. It equals exactly 1 milliliter.

History

The cubic centimeter was established as part of the CGS system in the 19th century. The equivalence with the milliliter made it widely adopted in both scientific and medical contexts.

Current use

Cubic centimeters are used in medicine (syringe volumes, commonly noted as 'cc'), automotive engineering (engine displacement), 3D printing (material volume), and scientific laboratory measurements.

Centiliters (cl)

Definition

A centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (0.01 L) or 10 milliliters.

History

The centiliter is part of the original metric system. While less commonly used than milliliters or liters, it found a niche in European food and beverage labeling.

Current use

Centiliters are commonly used in Europe for wine, spirits, and beverage serving sizes (e.g., a 75 cL wine bottle, a 33 cL beer). They also appear in some European cooking recipes and food packaging.
