Cubic millimeters (mm³) to Cubic centimeters (cm³) Conversion
Cubic millimeters
The cubic millimetre is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a cubic centimetre (10⁻⁶ L or 10⁻⁹ m³). It is used in precision engineering, optics, and laboratory science for very small volumes. In clinical haematology, blood cell counts and platelet volumes are sometimes expressed in cubic millimetres per unit volume. Gemstone volumes in jewellery are also occasionally measured in cubic millimetres.
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).
