The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Minim (Uk)
A minim is a traditional unit of volume used in the UK, equivalent to one-eighth of a fluid dram or approximately 0.0616 milliliters.
History/Origin
The minim originated in the apothecaries' system of measurement, dating back to the 19th century, primarily used for measuring small quantities of liquids in pharmacy and medicine.
Current Use
Today, the minim is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or specialized contexts; modern measurements favor metric units, but it may still appear in historical references or vintage recipes.
