About these units

Cubic Centimeter (cm³)

Metric (SI)Current unit

Exactly one milliliter. Used for engine displacement (as 'cc') and in medicine.

Cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube one centimeter on each side, and it belonged to the old centimeter-gram-second system of units, in which one cubic centimeter of water was meant to weigh about one gram. Its famous abbreviation, cc, is not an SI symbol at all. The official symbol is cm³, yet cc stuck in medicine, cooking and engineering because it is quick to write and say.

A cubic centimeter equals exactly one milliliter, so the two names are interchangeable and which one you meet depends on the field. Doses are often written in cc. Motorcyclists, scooter makers and engine builders use it for displacement: the swept volume is the bore area times the stroke times the number of cylinders, so a 1,000 cc sport bike can move eight times as much air per cycle as a 125 cc scooter. One cubic inch is 16.38706 cubic centimeters, which lets Americans and Europeans compare engines.

1 cubic centimeter = 0.001 liters (exactly).

Imperial Pint (pt (UK))

Imperial (British)Current unit

Exactly 568.26125 mL (20 imperial fluid ounces). The pint of beer and milk in the UK and Ireland.

The imperial pint derives from Parliament's 1824 decision to replace Britain's assorted gallons with one defined by ten pounds of water at 62 degrees Fahrenheit. A pint is one eighth of that gallon and holds 20 imperial fluid ounces, or exactly 568.26125 milliliters. The word reached English from French pinte, which in modern French now means half a liter, while Canadian French uses it for the imperial quart.

That pint is about 20 percent larger than the US liquid pint of 473 mL, so a pint in Dublin or London buys noticeably more beer than one in Chicago. When Britain metricated, the pint was kept for draught beer and cider and for milk in returnable bottles, and draught beer has to be served in measured, stamped glasses. Culturally the pint is more than a measure: it is shorthand for a night at the pub.

1 imperial pint = 0.56826125 liters (exactly).
