Conversion from cubic centimeter to liter
This conversion factor relates two metric volume units: the cubic centimeter and the liter. The factor of 0.001 is derived from their definitions in the base unit of cubic meter.
Definition
The cubic centimeter is a metric unit of volume equal to 0.000001 cubic meter. The liter is a metric unit of volume equal to 0.001 cubic meter.
Principle
To find the conversion factor, both units are expressed in the common base unit of cubic meter. The ratio of their base-unit values gives the direct conversion factor: 0.000001 divided by 0.001 equals 0.001.
Assumptions
- The conversion uses the defined relationships: 1 cm³ = 0.000001 m³ and 1 L = 0.001 m³.
Cautions
- The result should be rounded to the precision required by your calculation.
- The reverse conversion factor of 1000.0000000000001 contains a minor floating-point artifact.
