How do you work out cm3 into ml?

[soundbeltfarm]

i changing oil in kids front forks and the oil is measured in cm3 .
how many mls are in 1 cm3?

[soundbeltfarm]

i think i have figured it out.
I must be a dumb arse.
i guessing it is 1cm3 = 1 ml

[Juzz976]

1ml = 1cm³

10cm x 10 cm x 10cm = 1000cm³ = 1L = 1000mL

[notme]

1cc = 1ml.

Think about your bike's engine - you say it's a "litre bike" or "1000cc" interchangeably..... so 1000cc = 1 litre. That means 1/1000th of a litre must be one cc.
Or another way - a cc of water is a cube of water 1cm by 1cm by 1cm. It takes 1000 of these cubes to make a litre of water, so 1cc is one thousandth of a litre, i.e. 1 millilitre. Funnily enough, a cc or ml of water weighs about 1g. :done:

[hayd3n]

they may a be a measurment you can use aswell it might say 50mm from the top without spring etc

[Juzz976]

Thing I don't get is what are you using to measure this quantity that has cm³ as its scale?

Seems a very odd question to me...

[notme]

Probably a syringe. They are usually marked in cc.

[Latte]

I see cm3 in some non english stuff, guess they don't realise it's convention to call it cc (cubic centimetre).

Actually, cm3 is the correct unit, as is mL. "cc" is an abbreviation or slang unit

Yeah, fair enough, though the only place I know it's convention is regarding engine capacity. Totally unfounded, but I'd tend to think 'cc' would have come from Americans and their tendency to do/spell things differently to everyone else :shutup:

I'd say you're pretty much spot on there... especially with the automotive slant. I also seem to remember "CC" used a lot in US medical shows - "10cc's of overpricedplacebopam stat!"

[notme]

Wikipedia sez:

In many scientific (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science) fields, the use of cubic centimetres has been replaced by the millilitre. The medical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine) and automotive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry) fields are two of the few fields wherein the term cubic centimetre was never discontinued in the United States. Much of the automotive industry outside the U.S. has switched to using litres instead of cubic centimetres. In the United Kingdom, millilitres are used in preference to cubic centimetres in the medical field, but not the automotive. Most other English-speaking countries follow the UK example, but the use of cubic centimetres persists everywhere, especially in the automotive field.
There is currently a movement within the medical field to discontinue the use of cc in prescriptions and on medical documents as it can be mis-read as "00"; this could result in a hundredfold overdose of medication, which may be dangerous or even lethal. In the United States, such confusion accounts for 12.6% of all errors associated with medical abbreviations.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre#cite_note-1)</sup>




So basically it's the states lagging behind worldwide standards again....hits the engineering fields all the time! :facepalm:

mm vs ml.
Just to confuse things the building industry doesnt work in centimetres its either mm or metres.

thats to unconfuse things, cm is not a proper unit, someone probably just invented it cos they ran out of toes and fingers too quickly when working with mm :innocent:

Which actually makes more sense. Centi is common for any other measurement.


The post about moving away from cc to ml is a good idea also.

The first place I saw cm3 used in place of cc was in a Two Wheels magazine when it became politically correct in Orfuckinstaalia many moons ago.

Slang? Convention? Political correctness? Huh?

cc and cm3 are the exact same thing, both in units of measure and in terminology, there's no PC'ness, slang, or convention involved.........

"cm3" means cubic centimeters, or centimeters cubed. "cc" is an abbreviation of the words "cubic centimeters" or "centimeters cubed".

They are the same thing. "Cubes" is a slang term, as is "squares" when referring to land area.

Did any of us say they were different measurements? Or did we comment on when each term is used. Nice misread. CM3 is the correct scientific unit to use as it isn't ambiguous (it's a CM to the power of 3) - it follows other units (m2 etc). CC is a term that doesn't follow any other unit (CM isn't a cubic metre) - but it is a commonly known abbreviation of the wording of Cm3 (Cubic Centimetre).

Also "Cubes" I have only heard reffered to CI, not CC.

don't be silly, ml is the correct term, cos centimeter is a half assed one, but cc sounds better when talking bout bikes.

Nope, no misread - I'm not disputing that 1cm3 = 1cc.

What i am saying, is that "cc" is not slang, it's not political correctness, it's not convention. All it is, is an abbreviation for the correct unit. I gave "cubes" and "squares" as an example of slang, since they are commonly accepted units (as you yourself agreed - cubes is accepted to mean cubic inches) to show the difference.

If you really want to get pedantic, cm3 is NOT the "correct unit" as you claim - it is but one representation of the correct unit, when written down in english. Another representation is "cc". Another is "cubic centimeters". Another is "centimeters cubed".

ANd getting even more pedantic, we should all slap ourselves for saying "cc is an abbreviation" because it's actually an acronym. :-)

How about one more level of pedantism? We're all guilty of this one in this thread too - "CM3" as written, can mean Construction Mechanic Third Class in the Navy, or Centimeters Cubed/Cubic Centimeters. So it's not really unambiguous. :-)

The lesson here is that there are a lot of common mutilations of scientific terms, and the english language's ambiguity doesn't help when thrown into the mix, but most of the time, given the context - most people seem to be able to get by.

The OP's problem is solved, further discussion to keep us entertained on a sunday afternoon should really go in PD to conform to the mechanics forum rules!

Whoa :blink: Why is there always someone who makes a post that basically says "this is the way I see it - any further discussion should go into PD? You guys are no longer allowed to discuss this" :shutup:

Dude! Have you not been on KB long or summat?

The answer to your question is:

1. Because I'm right, you're all wrong! Unfortunately this opinion is shared by most on KB, thus slightly diluting it's effect, but hey them's the breaks.

2. Serious one this time - because it's the mechanics forum rules, and because netiquette says it's not nice.

Also note that suggesting we go to PD is not closing down the discussion or telling you you are not allowed to discuss this any more - it's just saying that we should continue it in PD. I'll keep an eye on the PD forums. :niceone:

In centipedese, the cm is quite acceptable. It wasn't until millipedes came onto the scene that they wanted their own unit of measure, hence the millimetre. Needless to say, the foreign exchange rate was 1 centipede to 10 millipedes. Shoe factories were also more propserous under the millipede era.

Any of the terms could be used to describe engine capacity, but the majority of the time CC is used..... why?.. It's the convention... (ooo err ;) )

Only because you initiated the convention of calling it an abbreviation in this thread, did I continue using it...... (now I'm really just being clutching at straws)

Not everyone used "Cm3", someone was smart enough to get the little 3 to work, alas I was not. Does the Mechanic Third Class count as a unit though? How many fit into a Admiral?

And if you ^3 that you get CC, so 1ml^3 (1ml) = 1g^3 (1g) at 4cc.

Eh? No one's arguing that cc=cubic centimeters, the discussion is about terms and conventions and so on....and fukkit, it's an interesting discussion too! (IMNSHO). People are sometimes soo good at thinking everything is a personal attack, there's not many around willing to have a good chinwag anymore!

Hiss gets it, but unfortunately I must spread my seed, ooer I mean rep before he gets any more bling :niceone: but I hear he's on the bottle so he probly won't notice.

In the future to save yourself some time, try Google, it'll give you answer straight away :)

Always remember... "I don't know the answer, but Google does!"

...if I can see for miles and miles and fucking miles, how many kilometers is that , and would I see further with metric or imperial binoculars....

[RDjase]

Just to confuse things milli litre get said as "1mil" or "10 mils"

A mil is a measurment of angle. NATO standard compass. 6400 in a circle/360 degrees

Start at Point A, walk 1Km to Point B, move to your left 1 metre to Point C

The angle measured from Point A to Between B and C is 1 mil

Based on pye but 6283 is a horrible number to fit onto a compass so it got rounded up to 6400

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mil

[notme]

Neat, I had never heard of the angular mils one.

Here's another spoken miscommunication one though - in engineering CAD/CAM a mil is a thousandth of an inch. Bit of a bugger when a hole is meant to be say 80mils (3.14mm) and it gets drilled to 80mm! :facepalm:

[Hitcher]

Actually, cm3 is the correct unit, as is mL. "cc" is an abbreviation or slang unit

Just as the correct plural of ml is ml (no s on the end). And it doesn't get a capitalised L as there is no famous dead physicist called Litre.

[steve_t]

I have to disagree with you, Hitcher. Litre, is represented by a capital L :yes:

Edit: Son of a bitch. Google says the SI unit is either L or l or mℓ

Havnt heard of that one , Is that American software?

I think from memory a 100th of a mm is a graduation, about 4 thou of a inch/ mils in your CAD programme

No wonder fuck ups happen.

The NZ Army used to use everything, Inchs, centimetres, (pet hate , dress makers mesurment) Miles, Kms, depends who and how old they are, and the the "mils" as in navigation, "mls" as in milllitres, "mm" as in millimetres. all said the same
Hope they dont now !

You will see mils in Brackets next to degrees in maps on the Legend

It's standard in all electronics layout software internationally, as well as some 3D modeling and milling machine type CAD stuff - but you're on the right track, the yanks are the only ones still using imperial in engineering so the measurements are still in use and thus still in the tools. :facepalm:

What is a "Point" ?

Wikidude: "The point, used in navigation, is 1/32 of a full circle. It is a binary subunit of the turn. 1 point = 1/8 of a right angle = 11.25° = 12.5 gon. Each point is subdivided in four quarter-points so that 1 turn equals 128 quarter-points."

Admittedly not normally used nowdays, in spite of us having won the war. Never in fact used on maps either. Nevertheless, there was a time when bawling "luff 'er up twenty two degrees, Helm" would have caused some comment on the quarterdeck.
