How to convert mL to CC
1 mL = 1 ccthe two units are identical by definition
- mL
- millilitre (SI)
- cc

Frequently asked questions
Is cc the same as mL?
Yes. One cubic centimetre equals exactly one millilitre. The two are interchangeable; only the name and typical context differ.
How many cc is 5 mL?
5 mL is 5 cc. The value never changes because the units are identical.
Is a 10 cc syringe 10 mL?
Yes. A syringe marked 10 cc holds exactly 10 mL.
Why are there two names for the same unit?
"Millilitre" comes from the litre (SI); "cubic centimetre" comes from measuring volume as length cubed. Both describe the same 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm space.
Is cc used for engine size?
Yes. Engine displacement in cc is the same as mL: a 1500 cc engine displaces 1500 mL, or 1.5 litres.
