Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1 cc the same as 1 mL?
Yes, 1 cc = 1 mL exactly. They are two names for the same volume. This is a precise definition, not an approximation.
Why do doctors use cc instead of mL?
Historically, medical equipment was labeled in cc (cubic centimeters). The abbreviation "cc" is also less likely to be confused with other medical abbreviations. However, mL is increasingly preferred to standardize terminology.
How many cc is a 5 mL syringe?
A 5 mL syringe holds 5 cc. The terms are interchangeable.
What does cc mean for motorcycles?
For motorcycles, cc refers to engine displacement — the total volume of all cylinders. A 600 cc engine has cylinders with a combined volume of 600 cubic centimeters (600 mL or 0.6 liters).
Why is a 1000 cc motorcycle called a "liter bike"?
Because 1000 cc = 1000 mL = 1 liter. The name describes the engine displacement in liters.
Is cm³ the same as cc?
Yes, cc stands for "cubic centimeter," which is written as cm³ in scientific notation. They mean exactly the same thing.
