Convert cubic centimeter to liter
Please provide values below to convert cubic centimeter [cm^3] to liter [L, l], or Convert liter to cubic centimeter.
1 cm^3 = 0.001 L, l. To convert cubic centimeter to liter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 L, l = 1000 cm^3). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cm^3 = 0.001 L, l
- 1 L, l = 1000 cm^3
- 10 cm^3 = 0.01 L, l
- 100 cm^3 = 0.1 L, l
How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Liter
1 cm^3 = 0.001 L, l
Example: convert 15 cm^3 to L, l:
15 cm^3 = 15 × 0.001 L, l = 0.015 L, l

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).
Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
