How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Teaspoon (UK)
To liters: divide by 1,000. To cubic inches: multiply by 0.0610237. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL = 1,000 mm³ = 0.001 L. One liter contains exactly 1,000 cm³.
For example, 1 Cubic Centimeter (cm³) = 0.1689363262 Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK)).

About Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
Definition
The cubic centimeter is a unit of volume equal to a cube with edges of one centimeter (10⁻⁶ m³), and is exactly equal to one milliliter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL = 1,000 mm³ = 0.001 L. One liter contains exactly 1,000 cm³.
Conversion Formula
To liters: divide by 1,000. To cubic inches: multiply by 0.0610237. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
Practical Applications
Engine displacement (e.g., 2,000 cc engine), medical syringe volumes, measuring cooking ingredients, and 3D printing volumes.
Interesting Facts
1 cm³ of water at 4 °C weighs exactly 1 gram — this relationship was the original basis for defining the gram.
Common Mistakes
Using 'cc' in formal scientific writing — cm³ or mL is preferred in SI contexts. Also, confusing cm³ with m³ (off by a factor of 10⁶).
Educational Tips
A sugar cube is roughly 1 cm³. Remember: 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 1 cc — three notations for the same volume.
About Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK))
Definition
The UK teaspoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to approximately 5.919 milliliters, slightly larger than its US counterpart.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK tsp ≈ 5.919 mL. Approximately 1.2 times the US teaspoon (4.929 mL).
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 5.919. To US teaspoons: multiply by 1.201. To metric teaspoons: multiply by 1.184.
Practical Applications
Traditional British recipes, Commonwealth cooking, and older pharmaceutical dosing in the UK.
Interesting Facts
The UK teaspoon is about 20% larger than the US teaspoon. A recipe calling for 5 UK teaspoons would need 6 US teaspoons.
Common Mistakes
Assuming UK and US teaspoons are the same — the UK teaspoon is about 20% larger. This matters in precise baking.
Educational Tips
Modern UK recipes increasingly use metric (5 mL teaspoons). When following older UK recipes, a UK tsp ≈ 6 mL.
