How to Convert Fluid Ounce (UK) to Cubic Centimeter
To mL: multiply by 28.4131. To US fl oz: multiply by 0.96076. To UK pints: divide by 20.
1 UK fl oz = 1/20 UK pt = 1/160 UK gal ≈ 28.4131 mL. It is about 4% smaller than a US fluid ounce.
For example, 1 Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK)) = 28.4130625 Cubic Centimeter (cm³).

About Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK))
Definition
The UK fluid ounce is a unit of liquid volume equal to 1/160 of an imperial gallon, or approximately 28.413 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK fl oz = 1/20 UK pt = 1/160 UK gal ≈ 28.4131 mL. It is about 4% smaller than a US fluid ounce.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 28.4131. To US fl oz: multiply by 0.96076. To UK pints: divide by 20.
Practical Applications
Older UK recipes, some beverage labels in Commonwealth countries, and traditional pharmaceutical dosing.
Interesting Facts
Paradoxically, the UK fluid ounce is smaller than the US fluid ounce (28.41 vs. 29.57 mL), even though UK pints and gallons are larger.
Common Mistakes
Assuming UK and US fluid ounces are the same — they differ by about 4%. This seems small but accumulates in recipes.
Educational Tips
UK fl oz ≈ 28.4 mL, US fl oz ≈ 29.6 mL. The UK has more fl oz per pint (20) vs. US (16), but each UK fl oz is smaller.
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.
