About This Calculator
The Grams to Cc Converter is a physics tool that converts between mass (grams) and volume (cubic centimeters) using the fundamental density equation: density = mass / volume. This calculator supports 16 common materials including water, metals (aluminum, copper, gold, iron, lead, silver, platinum, titanium, zinc, steel, brass), and other substances (concrete, glass, ice, mercury), plus a custom density option for any material.
The density of a material determines how much mass fits into a given volume. For example, gold has a density of 19.32 g/cc — nearly 20 times denser than water. This means 100 g of gold occupies only 5.18 cc, while 100 g of water fills 100 cc. Engineers, physicists, students, and hobbyists use this conversion for material selection, weight calculations, and volume estimation.
Select a material, enter either the mass or volume (or both to verify density), and click Convert. The calculator instantly computes the missing value and displays a density comparison chart showing where your material stands relative to others.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert grams to cc?
To convert grams to cubic centimeters (cc), divide the mass in grams by the density of the material in g/cc. For example, 100 grams of water (density 1 g/cc) equals 100 cc, while 100 grams of gold (density 19.32 g/cc) equals approximately 5.18 cc.
How do I convert cc to grams?
To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to grams, multiply the volume in cc by the density of the material in g/cc. For example, 50 cc of aluminum (density 2.70 g/cc) equals 135 grams.
What is the formula for grams to cc conversion?
The formula is volume (cc) = mass (g) / density (g/cc). This is derived from the density equation: density = mass / volume. The density depends on the material — water has a density of 1.0 g/cc, while most metals range from 2.7 g/cc (aluminum) to 21.45 g/cc (platinum).
Is 1 cc equal to 1 gram?
One cc equals one gram only for water at 4°C, where density is exactly 1.0 g/cc. For all other materials, 1 cc equals the material's density in grams. For example, 1 cc of gold weighs 19.32 grams, while 1 cc of ice weighs 0.92 grams.
What is the density of common materials in g/cc?
Common material densities in g/cc: Water 1.00, Ice 0.92, Aluminum 2.70, Concrete 2.40, Glass 2.50, Titanium 4.51, Steel 7.85, Iron 7.87, Zinc 7.14, Brass 8.50, Copper 8.96, Silver 10.49, Lead 11.34, Mercury 13.53, Gold 19.32, Platinum 21.45. Select Custom to enter any density value.
Can I use this calculator for cooking ingredients?
This calculator is designed for physics and engineering materials. For cooking ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter with their specific densities, use our dedicated food conversion calculators available in the Food category.
What does cc stand for?
cc stands for cubic centimeter (cm³), a unit of volume equal to one milliliter (mL). In the metric system, 1 cc = 1 mL = 1 cm³. It is commonly used in physics, chemistry, engineering, and medicine to measure small volumes of liquids and solids.
How accurate is the grams to cc conversion?
Results are accurate to 4 decimal places using standard density values at room temperature. For custom materials, enter the precise density. Note that density varies slightly with temperature — the values used are standard reference densities at 20°C.
