cc to mL converter explained
Cubic centimeters and milliliters describe the same volume. This guide keeps that identity front and center while giving you liter and US fluid-ounce context for labels and recipes.
How the conversion works
Because , the only math is for scaling up or down:
Units and conversions
| Unit | Symbol | Relation |
|---|---|---|
| Milliliter | mL | base for this view |
| Cubic centimeter | cc | 1 cc = 1 mL |
| Liter | L | 1 L = 1000 mL |
| US fluid ounce | fl oz (US) | 1 fl oz = 29.5735295625 mL |
Worked examples
-
Oral dosing A syringe shows 18 cc:
Result: 18 mL.
-
Filling a lab bottle You need 0.75 L of buffer:
Result: 750 cc (750 mL).
Tips and pitfalls
- Use mL on medical charts even if syringes are marked in cc; it reduces mix-ups.
- Keep liters for totals and cc/mL for small steps; switching mid-protocol can invite rounding errors.
- For US recipes written in fluid ounces, multiply fl oz by 29.5735 to get mL.
