Is the UK cup the same as the metric cup?

The UK cup is commonly considered equivalent to the metric cup (250 ml) in modern usage, but older sources may use different implicit values.

What does 1 cc represent in volume?

One cubic centimeter (cc) is the volume of a cube with sides one centimeter in length and is exactly equal to one milliliter.

Can I use this converter for medical dosing?

This tool can help convert informal volumes to cc used in medical contexts, but for critical dosing, precise metric measurements are preferred.
