Conversion Definitions
cc (cubic centimeter): A cc is a unit of volume equivalent to one milliliter. It is used in medical dosing, cooking, and scientific measurements to express small amounts of liquid or gas volume. One cc is the volume of a cube measuring 1 centimeter on each side.
tbs (tablespoon): A tablespoon is a common cooking and measurement unit in volume, equal to approximately 14.7868 milliliters. It is often used to measure liquid and dry ingredients in recipes. The size of a tablespoon may vary slightly by country but is standardized in metric conversions.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the conversion factor from cc to tablespoons involve 0.067628?
The factor 0.067628 comes from dividing 1 milliliter (or cc) by the volume of a tablespoon in milliliters (about 14.7868 ml). Since 1 cc equals 1 ml, to find tablespoons you multiple cc by 1/14.7868 which is approximately 0.067628. This provides a direct way to convert cc to tablespoons.
Can I use tablespoons to measure medication doses given in cc?
While tablespoons can be used to approximate medication doses from cc, it’s not the most accurate method. Tablespoons vary slightly in size, and precise dosing is critical for medication. Using a syringe or a medicine cup marked in cc is more reliable and safer for dosing.
Is the tablespoon volume the same worldwide?
No, tablespoon size differs depending on the country, which can cause slight variations in conversions. The US tablespoon equals about 14.79 ml, while the UK tablespoon is larger, about 17.76 ml. The conversion factor here assumes the US tablespoon standard.
Does temperature affect converting cc to tablespoons?
Temperature can affect the volume of liquids slightly, causing minor changes in measurements. However, for most practical purposes like cooking or medicine, these changes are negligible, and cc to tablespoon conversions remain consistent without temperature correction.
Why is the conversion result often rounded to four decimal places?
Rounding to four decimal places balances precision and usability. It provides enough accuracy for most applications without overwhelming users with too many digits. More decimal places would be precise but unnecessary for everyday measurements involving cc and tablespoons.
