Cubic centimeters (cm³) to Deciliters (dL) Conversion
Cubic centimeters
The cubic centimetre (cm³) is a unit of volume equal to exactly one millilitre (1 mL). It is used interchangeably with mL in medicine and chemistry. In mechanical engineering, engine displacement is traditionally expressed in cubic centimetres (cc) or in litres: a 2.0 L engine has a displacement of 2,000 cc. The cubic centimetre is also used in materials science for expressing density (g/cm³).
Deciliters
The decilitre is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a litre (100 mL), used in Scandinavian countries and several European nations for cooking measurements and nutritional labelling. Nutritional values on food labels are sometimes expressed per 100 mL, which is equivalent to per decilitre. In clinical laboratory medicine, some analyte concentrations are expressed in decilitres (e.g., grams per decilitre for haemoglobin).
