About these units
Cubic Millimeter (mm³)
A cubic millimeter is the volume of a cube exactly 1 millimeter on each side, equal to 10⁻⁹ cubic meters or 0.001 milliliters. It is a very small volume, frequently used in medical imaging, microfluidics, materials science, and cell biology. In anatomy and radiology, tissue or tumor volumes are often quantified in cubic millimeters to express small but clinically significant structures. In engineering, mm³ can describe the displacement of precision components or the volume of micro-machined cavities. Microfluidic research—where entire laboratories are miniaturized onto chips—depends heavily on mm³ and smaller units, as channels and chambers hold extremely tiny volumes. Its precision scale makes it invaluable for applications requiring meticulous material control.
CCF (ccf)
The abbreviation CCF stands for centum cubic feet, meaning 100 cubic feet. It is widely used by water and natural gas utilities to measure residential and industrial consumption. Water bills in many US cities list usage in CCF, balancing numerical convenience with practical scale. For example, a household may consume 5–12 CCF per month, depending on climate and household size. Because natural gas companies also use CCF, the unit plays a central role in energy billing, conservation programs, and environmental reporting. It is a key bridge between technical engineering measurements and everyday consumer usage.
