How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Teaspoon (US)
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) = 0.2028841364 Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US)).

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 (US) (tsp (US))
Definition
The US teaspoon is a unit of culinary volume equal to 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or approximately 4.929 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US tsp = 1/3 US tbsp = 1/6 US fl oz = 1/48 US cup ≈ 4.929 mL.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 4.929. To UK teaspoons: multiply by 0.832674. To tablespoons (US): divide by 3.
Practical Applications
Cooking and baking recipes, measuring medicine doses, adding spices, sugar or salt, and child medication dosing.
Interesting Facts
The US teaspoon is slightly smaller than the metric teaspoon (5 mL). The phrase 'a teaspoon of sugar' equals about 4 grams.
Common Mistakes
Using a regular eating spoon instead of a measuring teaspoon — actual teaspoons vary widely. Always use a calibrated spoon.
Educational Tips
3 tsp = 1 tbsp. 48 tsp = 1 cup. For mL conversion, remember 1 tsp ≈ 5 mL (the metric teaspoon is exactly 5 mL).
