Convert centiliter to cubic centimeter
Please provide values below to convert centiliter [cL] to cubic centimeter [cm^3], or Convert cubic centimeter to centiliter.
1 cL = 10 cm^3. To convert centiliter to cubic centimeter, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cm^3 = 0.1 cL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cL = 10 cm^3
- 1 cm^3 = 0.1 cL
- 10 cL = 100 cm^3
- 100 cL = 1000 cm^3
How to Convert Centiliter to Cubic Centimeter
1 cL = 10 cm^3
Example: convert 15 cL to cm^3:
15 cL = 15 × 10 cm^3 = 150 cm^3

Centiliter
A centiliter (cL) is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The centiliter was introduced as part of the metric system to provide convenient subdivisions of the liter, which was established in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system in France.
Current Use
The centiliter is used primarily in countries that utilize the metric system for measuring liquids, such as in beverage labeling, cooking, and scientific contexts, especially in Europe.
Cubic Centimeter
A cubic centimeter (cm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts as a standard unit of volume measurement, especially in fields like medicine and chemistry, since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., dosage), automotive engine capacities, and scientific experiments, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
