For those that don't remember cm is distance , cc allows it to measure volume by becoming 3 dimensional , an liters are strictly a measure of volume . 1cc = 1ml anywhere , anytime . They're units of volume and aren't affected by temperature , pressure or anything else . Whatever happens to be measured is affected .

Ummmm....CC's and ML's are both volume measurements and they are both equivalent (1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters = 1000 milliliters). Now, ideally, you'd use cubic centimeters (or cubic meters) for gas (vapor) and solid measurements and milliliters (or liters) for liquid measurement, but that's just in an ideal world.

Mass in the metric system is only measured in grams or derivatives of it (like kilograms).


Bonus:
Compared to the metric system, the SAE system is downright tricky and borders on illogical. Anyone know what a "slug" is (and I don't mean the slimy things that crawl around in your garden).

For those who don't know, a slug is a unit of mass (the same measurement as grams / kilograms). To find it, you take weight (in lbs) and divide by the prevailing gravity (which in most places on earth is 32 ft per second per second) to find Slugs.

A slug is an extra passenger you pick up while going home from the Pentagon so you can use the HOV lane and get home faster.

Since its hunting season, I would have expected 12ga shotgun jokes. But that one's funny too....

yeap, for sure. I think I better put my glasses on so I can read what I'm replying to late at night.
volume is volume (sorry with a redish cheek tint)

Reminds me when a new instrumentation tech from DeVry asked me how to convert cycles per second to Hertz. I told her to multilply it by 1.0000000000. One of the more humorous engineers at work posted a curve to convert cps to Hz. It truly was a curve because he plotted it on semi-log scale graph paper. You could use this same curve to convert cc's to ml's.
