What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change volume values from cubic centimeters (cc or cm³), commonly used in medical, engine, and laboratory measurements, into ton register units, which historically measure ship volume for maritime and regulatory uses.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cubic centimeters (cc or cm³).
-
Select 'cc' as the original unit and 'ton register' as the target unit.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent volume in ton register units.
Key Features
-
Converts volume from cubic centimeters (cc) to ton register (ton reg).
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use with no installation needed.
-
Supports volume units relevant to both small-scale and maritime contexts.
Examples
-
1,000,000 cc converts to approximately 0.3531467 ton register.
-
500,000 cc converts to approximately 0.1765733 ton register.
Common Use Cases
-
Converting medical syringe volumes for archival research related to maritime shipping.
-
Translating engine or laboratory volume measurements into historical ship capacity units.
-
Interpreting old ship plans or shipping records that use ton register measurements.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check large volume entries due to the vast scale difference between cc and ton register.
-
Use the conversion for historical or archival research rather than everyday volume needs.
-
Keep in mind the ton register is largely outdated in modern international contexts.
Limitations
-
Ton register is mostly outdated and replaced by newer international tonnage measures.
-
Very small cc volumes convert to tiny fractions of a ton register, affecting usability.
-
The large difference in unit scale limits practical use primarily to summary or archival purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cubic centimeter (cc)?
-
A cubic centimeter is a volume unit equal to the volume of a cube with 1-centimeter sides, exactly equivalent to 1 milliliter.
-
What is a ton register (ton reg)?
-
A ton register is a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet (about 2.83 cubic meters), historically used to describe a ship’s internal capacity.
-
Why convert cc to ton register?
-
To translate small-scale measurements such as medical or engine volumes into large maritime volume units used historically for ship capacity and port fee calculations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter (cc)
-
A unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with 1-centimeter sides; exactly 1 milliliter.
-
Ton Register (ton reg)
-
A historic maritime volume unit equals 100 cubic feet, used to indicate a ship’s internal capacity.
-
Gross Register Tonnage
-
A measure of the internal volume of a ship used historically, often expressed in register tons.
