How to Convert Cubic Centimeter (cc) to Barrel (Oil)
To mL: 1 cc = 1 mL (exact). To liters: divide by 1,000. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
1 cc = 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1,000 mm³. CC and mL are fully interchangeable.
For example, 1 Cubic Centimeter (cc) (cc) = 0.00000628981077 Barrel (Oil) (bbl (oil)).

About Cubic Centimeter (cc) (cc)
Definition
The cc (cubic centimeter) is a unit of volume exactly equal to one milliliter and one cubic centimeter, widely used in medicine and automotive contexts.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cc = 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1,000 mm³. CC and mL are fully interchangeable.
Conversion Formula
To mL: 1 cc = 1 mL (exact). To liters: divide by 1,000. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
Practical Applications
Medical syringe volumes (e.g., '10 cc syringe'), motorcycle engine displacement (e.g., 600 cc), and IV fluid administration.
Interesting Facts
The ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) recommends using 'mL' instead of 'cc' in healthcare to prevent medication errors.
Common Mistakes
Confusing cc with other abbreviations in handwritten prescriptions. Healthcare is shifting to 'mL' to reduce errors.
Educational Tips
CC = cm³ = mL — all the same volume. In medicine, prefer mL. In automotive, cc is standard for engine size.
About Barrel (Oil) (bbl (oil))
Definition
The oil barrel is a unit of volume equal to 42 US gallons (approximately 158.987 liters), the standard for measuring crude oil and petroleum products.
Mathematical Relationship
1 oil barrel = 42 US gal = 158.987 L = 34.97 UK gal = 5,376 US fl oz.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 158.987. To US gallons: multiply by 42. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.158987.
Practical Applications
Crude oil trading and pricing, refinery throughput, national oil production statistics, and petroleum reserve reporting.
Interesting Facts
Global oil consumption is about 100 million barrels per day. Oil is no longer actually shipped in barrels — the unit persists purely as a standard of measurement.
Common Mistakes
Confusing the oil barrel (42 gal) with the US liquid barrel (31.5 gal). Always use 'bbl (oil)' or specify the type.
Educational Tips
Oil is priced per barrel (~42 gallons). When you see '$70/barrel,' that means about $1.67/gallon before refining and distribution costs.
