What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you translate volume measurements from cubic centimeters (cm³), a metric unit commonly used for small liquid volumes, into gills (US), a traditional US customary unit used historically in beverage and culinary measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cubic centimeters (cm³) in the input field
-
Select 'cubic centimeter [cm³]' as the from-unit
-
Choose 'gill (US) [gi]' as the to-unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in US gills
Key Features

-
Supports volume units used in medical, culinary, and historical contexts
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
-
Ideal for interpreting vintage recipes and archival measurements
Examples
-
100 cubic centimeters [cm³] equals 0.84535057 gill (US) [gi]
-
500 cubic centimeters [cm³] equals 4.22675285 gill (US) [gi]
Common Use Cases
-
Converting metric liquid volumes into traditional US measures for bartending and mixology
-
Interpreting older brewing, distilling, or culinary recipes using customary units
-
Translating historical measurement records for archival or restoration work
-
Supporting medical dosing translation in historical contexts
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values in cubic centimeters to get correct conversions
-
Use this tool to understand old recipes and measurement documents referencing gills
-
Consider the small conversion factor when dealing with very small volumes
-
Use appropriate measuring tools when working with fractional gill amounts
Limitations
-
The US gill is a non-SI customary unit not commonly used in modern measurement systems
-
Conversions may be less standardized or precise across some applications
-
Small metric volumes convert to fractional gill amounts, complicating exact practical measurement
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cubic centimeter (cm³)?
-
A cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube with edges of one centimeter, equal to one milliliter, widely used for small liquid and compact volume measurements.
-
What is a US gill?
-
A US gill is a customary liquid volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid pint or four fluid ounces, historically used in beverage measurement and old recipes.
-
Why would I convert cubic centimeters to US gills?
-
To translate metric liquid volumes into traditional US customary units for historical recipes, bartending, brewing, and archival purposes.
