CC to Grams Converter — Volume to Mass by Density
Convert a volume in cc (cubic centimetres) to mass in grams: select your substance from the preset list — water, milk, oil, honey, alcohol and more — or enter a custom density, and the calculator applies mass = volume × density instantly.

How does this calculator work?
Mass (g) = Volume (cc) × Density (g/cc). Water: 1 g/cc so 100 cc = 100 g. Honey: ~1.42 g/cc so 100 cc ≈ 142 g. Ethanol: ~0.789 g/cc so 100 cc ≈ 79 g. Pick your substance from the preset list or enter a custom density. 1 cc = 1 mL exactly.
Formula
How this is calculated
A cubic centimetre (cc or cm³) is a unit of volume; a gram is a unit of mass. They are not directly interchangeable — the conversion depends on the density of the substance, which is how much mass is packed into each unit of volume. Water at 20 °C has a density of almost exactly 1.000 g/cc, so for water the numbers happen to be equal: 100 cc of water weighs 100 g. For a denser substance like honey (≈ 1.42 g/cc) the same 100 cc weighs about 142 g; for ethanol (0.789 g/cc) it weighs only 79 g.
The formula is simply mass = volume × density, rearranged from the definition of density (ρ = m / V). All preset densities in this calculator are values at approximately 20 °C and standard atmospheric pressure from standard physical-chemistry references. Density varies slightly with temperature — for example, water is densest at 4 °C (1.0000 g/cc) and slightly less dense at 20 °C (0.9982 g/cc). For most practical purposes the difference is negligible.
Note that cc and mL are exactly equal by SI definition (1 cm³ = 1 mL = 0.001 L), so this converter applies identically to millilitre inputs. If you need to convert a mass in grams back to volume in cc, divide grams by density.
Frequently asked questions
Only for pure water at about 4 °C. In general, 1 cc equals a different number of grams depending on the substance's density. For example, 1 cc of honey ≈ 1.42 g, while 1 cc of ethanol ≈ 0.79 g. The formula is always grams = cc × density (g/cc).
Yes, exactly. One cubic centimetre (1 cc = 1 cm³) equals one millilitre (1 mL) by SI definition. Doctors and pharmacists commonly use mL; engineers and physicists often write cc or cm³. This converter works identically for both.
You can look it up in a material data sheet (SDS/MSDS), a chemistry handbook, or measure it by dividing the known mass of a sample by its volume. Enter the result in g/cc (equivalently g/mL) into the Custom density field.
