Why Convert Milliliter to Cc?
The Milliliter Explained
Milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume measurement. 1 milliliter is equal to 1.0000000 cc.
Understanding the Cc
Cc (cc) is a unit of volume measurement. 1 cc is equal to 1.0000000 milliliter.
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 Milliliter to Cc?
We can convert milliliter to cc by using an example.
Example:
Convert 20 Milliliter to Cc?
We know 1 Milliliter = 1.0000000 cc; 1 Cc = 1.0000000 milliliter.
20 milliliter = ___cc
20 × 1.0000000 = 20.00000 cc (we know 1 milliliter = 1.0000000 cc)
Answer:
20 milliliter = 20.00000 cc
How to Convert mL to CC (Step-by-Step)
Converting milliliters to cubic centimeters is trivial because they are the same volume: 1 mL = 1 cc exactly. This page clarifies when and why different fields use "mL" versus "cc" and helps you confidently interchange these units.
- Write down the volume in milliliters (mL).
- The value in cc is the same number.
- No conversion calculation is required.
- Relabel the unit from mL to cc.
mL to CC Context Reference
Common volumes shown in mL (used in labs/pharmacy) and their cc equivalent (used in medical procedures/automotive):
| Milliliter | Cc |
|---|---|
| 0.1 mL | 0.1 cc |
| 0.5 mL | 0.5 cc |
| 1 mL | 1 cc |
| 5 mL | 5 cc |
| 10 mL | 10 cc |

Solved Examples: mL to CC
Question 1: A lab measures 25 mL of reagent. Express in cc for a medical report.
Solution:
1 mL = 1 cc (exact)
25 mL = 25 cc
Answer: 25 mL = 25 cc.
Question 2: A IV bag delivers 100 mL/hr. How many cc per hour?
Solution:
1 mL = 1 cc
100 mL/hr = 100 cc/hr
Answer: 100 mL/hr = 100 cc/hr. The rate is the same in either unit.

When to Use "mL" vs. "cc" in Documentation
In general: laboratories, pharmacies, and nursing documentation use "mL." Physicians, especially surgeons and anesthesiologists, may still say "cc" verbally. Radiology reports describing lesion sizes use "cc" for volume. The trend worldwide is toward "mL" exclusively, following Joint Commission recommendations. In automotive and engineering contexts, "cc" remains standard for engine displacement and will not be replaced.
Historical Origin of Two Names for the Same Volume
The milliliter comes from the metric system (1/1,000 of a liter, defined by water volume). The cubic centimeter comes from geometry (a 1×1×1 cm cube). For over a century, scientists debated whether they were truly identical because the liter was defined by water mass, introducing a tiny temperature dependency. In 1964, the international community resolved this by redefining 1 L = exactly 1,000 cm³, making mL and cc permanently identical.
Key Takeaways
- 1 mL = 1 cc exactly — no conversion calculation needed.
- Labs and pharmacies prefer "mL"; surgery and automotive use "cc."
- The Joint Commission recommends "mL" to prevent medication errors.
- Both units derive from the same physical volume: 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm.
- This equivalence was officially confirmed in 1964 by international standards.
- In automotive: 1,000 cc = 1,000 mL = 1 liter engine displacement.
Milliliter to Cc Conversion Formula
cc = milliliter × 1.0000000
1 milliliter = 1.0000000 cc
1 cc = 1.0000000 milliliter
Reverse: milliliter = cc × 1.0000000
