quick help settle a family arguement - is 20cc the same volume as 200ml?

[sunnywong]

I have kudos to gain and face to lose

cc = ml

so 20 cc is 20 ml not 200

cc = cubic centimetre
ml = millilitre

20 cl = 200 ml

but

20 cc = 20 ml

as SaintGeorge says

a ml is the same volume as a cc (for water based things at least)

so 20cc is 20ml

I'm a chemist and when I worked in the lab, we interchanged 20cc with 20ml when measuring out liquids so yes, they are the same.

but why? isn't centi indicating a hundreth of a litre and milli indicatin a thousandeth? I dont' get it???????

and as for YL, writted, by eck lass sort theself out

cc is cubic centimeter (cl is centilitre)

ml is millilitre

so cc and ml are actually different ways of measuring it - one is using a linear measurement to get the volume, the other is volumetric - does that make any sense at all ?

it really isn't that simple is it?
so anyone care to place hard cash on the definitive answer?

oh yes, throck, I just read your post properly now
I get the dimension thing, but are they the same?????

1cc is definitely 1ml. For sure.

thanks

I have to go and scrape the egg off my face now

feck

yep !

cc is the volume created by a block of water 1cm by 1cm by 1cm

a ml is the same volume - and is 1/1000 of a litre - a cl (centilitre) is 1/100 of a litre

so if my maths is right a litre must be 1000cc which is 10cmx10cmx10cm.

Eg cars are either 2000cc or 2l engines - same size.

sorry about the egg

No 200cc is 200ml

well actually it's a good thing that I know
now MIL doesn't hav to drink 200ml each of grape and celery juice twice a day to counteract her high blood pressure.
I will put her right on this.
I may moan about her but I love her really

200ml isn't that much - a bit less than a mugful.

but that's 400ml a pop
and chinese old ladies ain't too fond of juice

fermented bean curd or creamcakes, now you're talking

oops - I meant cc as the same as ml, 20cc is not the same as 200ml, it is 20ml.

you're just fucking with my head now

please stop

Definitely the same thing.

Sorry, I meant cc the same as ml, not 20 cc the same as 200 ml

tamum!

I was poised with a there...

so about a mugful of each a day - sounds about right ot make any difference (given they are mostly water anyway).

fermented bean curd or creamcakes, now you're talking
