How to Convert Cubic Centimeter (cc) to Tablespoon (UK)
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) = 0.0563120136 Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK)).

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 Tablespoon (UK) (tbsp (UK))
Definition
The UK tablespoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to approximately 17.758 milliliters, or 3 UK teaspoons.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK tbsp ≈ 17.758 mL = 3 UK tsp. About 20% larger than a US tablespoon (14.787 mL).
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 17.758. To US tablespoons: multiply by 1.201. To metric tablespoons: multiply by 1.184.
Practical Applications
Traditional British baking and cooking, Commonwealth recipes, and older pharmaceutical references.
Interesting Facts
Australia officially uses a 20 mL tablespoon, the UK uses ~17.8 mL, and the US uses ~14.8 mL — three different sizes for the same name!
Common Mistakes
Mixing up UK and US tablespoons in international recipes. A UK tbsp is ~20% larger than a US tbsp.
Educational Tips
Modern UK cooking is shifting to metric (15 mL). When following old UK recipes, add ~20% more than a US tbsp would indicate.
