Cc vs Milliliter
Understanding the Cc
Cc (cc) is a unit of volume measurement. 1 cc is equal to 1.0000000 milliliter.
The Milliliter Explained
Milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume measurement. 1 milliliter is equal to 1.0000000 cc.
Volume Measurement Systems
Volume units are particularly confusing because the US and UK gallons differ (US gallon = 3.785 L, UK gallon = 4.546 L), as do their pints, cups, and fluid ounces. Cooking, fuel economy, beverage production, and pharmaceutical compounding all require precise volume conversions. Laboratory work uses milliliters and liters while US recipes specify cups, tablespoons, and fluid ounces.

How to Convert Cc to Milliliter?
We can convert cc to milliliter by using an example.
Example:
Convert 20 Cc to Milliliter?
We know 1 Cc = 1.0000000 milliliter; 1 Milliliter = 1.0000000 cc.
20 cc = ___mL
20 × 1.0000000 = 20.00000 mL (we know 1 cc = 1.0000000 milliliter)
Answer:
20 cc = 20.00000 milliliter
How to Convert CC to mL (Step-by-Step)
A cubic centimeter (cc) and a milliliter (mL) are exactly equal in volume: 1 cc = 1 mL. This equivalence is used constantly in medicine (syringe measurements) and automotive (engine displacement). The conversion requires no calculation — simply use the same number.
- Write down the volume in cubic centimeters (cc).
- The value in milliliters is identical: cc = mL.
- No multiplication or division is needed.
- Simply relabel the unit from cc to mL.
CC to mL Reference (1:1 Equivalence)
Since 1 cc = 1 mL exactly, this table shows common contexts where cc is used and the mL equivalent:
| Cc | Milliliter |
|---|---|
| 1 cc | 1 mL |
| 3 cc | 3 mL |
| 5 cc | 5 mL |
| 10 cc | 10 mL |
| 20 cc | 20 mL |
| 50 cc | 50 mL |
| 125 cc | 125 mL |
| 600 cc | 600 mL |
Solved Examples: CC to mL
Question 1: A doctor orders 3 cc of medication to be drawn into a syringe. How many mL?
Solution:
1 cc = 1 mL (exact equivalence)
3 cc = 3 mL
Answer: 3 cc = 3 mL. Draw up to the 3 mL mark on the syringe.
Question 2: A motorcycle engine is listed as 998 cc. What is the displacement in mL?
Solution:
1 cc = 1 mL
998 cc = 998 mL
Answer: 998 cc = 998 mL (or 0.998 liters, often rounded to "1-liter bike").
Question 3: A cosmetic filler syringe contains 1.5 cc. Express in mL.
Solution:
1 cc = 1 mL
1.5 cc = 1.5 mL
Answer: 1.5 cc = 1.5 mL.

Why Hospitals Are Phasing Out "cc"
The Joint Commission and ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) recommend using "mL" instead of "cc" in medical documentation. The reason: in handwriting, "cc" can be mistaken for "u" (units) or "00" (zeros), leading to potentially fatal dosing errors. A prescription for "10 cc" might be misread as "10 u" (10 units of insulin) or "1000." Most modern electronic health records now default to mL.
Engine Displacement: CC in Motorcycles and Cars
Engine displacement in cc (cubic centimeters) indicates the total volume swept by all pistons in one complete cycle. Motorcycles are categorized by cc: 125 cc (learner bikes), 250-300 cc (beginner sport), 600 cc (middleweight), 1,000 cc (superbikes), and 1,300+ cc (touring). In cars, displacement is usually stated in liters (divide cc by 1,000): a 2,000 cc engine is a "2.0-liter" engine.
The Physics Behind 1 cc = 1 mL
A cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube measuring 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. The milliliter was originally defined as one-thousandth of a liter, and the liter was defined as the volume of 1 kilogram of water at 4°C — which is 1,000 cubic centimeters. In 1964, the CGPM officially confirmed that 1 mL = 1 cm³ (= 1 cc) exactly, eliminating any ambiguity between the two units.
Key Takeaways
- 1 cc = 1 mL exactly — they are interchangeable units.
- No calculation needed: just relabel cc as mL.
- Medical recommendation: use "mL" instead of "cc" to prevent medication errors.
- Engine displacement (cc) = same number in mL; divide by 1,000 for liters.
- Common syringes: 1 cc, 3 cc, 5 cc, 10 cc, 20 cc, 50 cc.
- A 600 cc motorcycle engine = 600 mL = 0.6 liters displacement.
Cc to Milliliter Conversion Formula
milliliter = cc × 1.0000000
1 cc = 1.0000000 milliliter
1 milliliter = 1.0000000 cc
Reverse: cc = milliliter × 1.0000000
