Acubic centimetre (orcubic centimeterin US English) (SI unit symbol:cm3; non-SI abbreviations:cc andccm) is a commonly usedunit ofvolume that corresponds to the volume of acube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. One cubiccentimetre corresponds to a volume of onemillilitre. The mass of one cubic centimetre of water at 3.98 °C (the temperature at which it attains itsmaximum density) is almost equal to one gram.
Ininternal combustion engines, "cc" refers to the total volume of itsengine displacement in cubic centimetres. The displacement can be calculated using the formula
whered is engine displacement,b is the bore of the cylinders,s is length of the stroke andn is the number of cylinders.
