Grams to cc Converter

When trying to calculate volume from mass, we need one variable that connects those two: density.

The heavier an object, the denser it is, and therefore it occupies less volume. For example, in the human body muscles have more density than fat. Therefore, a muscular person looks less chubby than the one that has more fat - even if they both weigh the same.

To calculate volume when the mass is defined, the formula is simple, and includes the use of density:

Where:

• - the volume of the item
• - mass, how much the object weighs
• - density, preferably in or

You may still be wondering how many cc are in a gram. However, the answer still differs, depending on the density of a substance. There is no direct way to convert from volume to weight and the other way around - you'll always need one more factor.

There's one exception when the calculations are extremely easy. If we have one kilogram of water at the temperature of 4 °C (39.2 °F). Then its density equals 1g/cc (1kg/l).

Now that you know the formula behind our tool, check out how to use it:

1. First put in the weight/mass of an object in grams.
2. Find out the density of the given object - it may be either in or .

The volume in cubic centimeters appears automatically. The tool works each way, so you can also first input volume and calculate the mass with the use of density.

1kg equals 1 liter only when it's pure water in perfect conditions: when it reaches a maximum density of 1 kg/l, with a temperature of 4 °C (39.2 °F). If the density is different, 1kg occupies a different volume than 1 liter.
