Frequently Asked Questions
-
What volume does one US gill represent?
-
One US gill equals one quarter of a US liquid pint or four US fluid ounces, exactly 118.29411825 milliliters.
-
Why convert Gill (US) to cubic centimeters?
-
Converting Gill (US) to cubic centimeters allows translation of traditional US liquid measures into the metric system for precision in recipes, scientific use, and documentation.
-
Is the cubic centimeter unit the same as a milliliter?
-
Yes, one cubic centimeter (cm³) is equal to one milliliter (mL), both representing the volume of a cube 1 cm on each side.
-
Can I use this conversion for medical dosing?
-
Yes, cubic centimeters are commonly used in medical dosing for small fluid volumes, making this conversion useful for precise measurements.
