kuupsentimeetr

Kuupsentimeetr is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is commonly abbreviated as cm³ or cc. One kuupsentimeetr is equivalent to the volume of a cube with sides measuring one sentimeetr each. This unit is derived from the base unit of length, the sentimeetr, by cubing it. Therefore, 1 cm³ = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm.

The kuupsentimeetr is also equivalent to one milliliiter (mL). This relationship is a fundamental conversion within the metric system for liquid and solid volumes. Consequently, measurements made in kuupsentimeetr are directly interchangeable with measurements in milliliiters. This unit is widely used in various scientific and everyday contexts, including in chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering. For instance, engine displacement is often measured in kuupsentimeetr, indicating the volume swept by the pistons. In medical settings, drug dosages and fluid intake or output are frequently recorded using this unit. Its small size makes it convenient for precise measurements in laboratories and for describing the volumes of small objects.
