About these units
Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
A cubic centimeter equals 1 mL, representing the volume of a cube 1 cm per side. This dual identity makes it fundamental in medicine, laboratory science, and engineering. In medicine, cm³ is used when describing organ sizes, tumor volumes, or syringe capacities. In mechanics, engine displacements (e.g., "1500 cc") use cubic centimeters instead of liters, even though 1000 cm³ = 1 liter. The cm³ bridges small-scale measurements with scientific precision, making it indispensable across biology, chemistry, and automotive engineering.
Pint (US) (pt (US))
A US pint equals 16 US fluid ounces, or about 473 milliliters. It is used extensively for beverages, dairy products, and food portions. Although derived from British systems, the US pint differs significantly from the UK pint, a discrepancy that often surprises international travelers. The US pint's prevalence in beer, ice cream, and milk packaging ties it closely to American food culture. In cooking and bartending, the pint provides a practical intermediate size, bridging the gap between cups and quarts. Its continued use reflects how cultural and culinary habits shape measurement preferences.
