Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
