    1 cm – 10 millimeters; 1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua ...

  3. Volume - Wikipedia

    The conversion between the prefix units are as follows: 1000 mm 3 = 1 cm 3, 1000 cm 3 = 1 dm 3, and 1000 dm 3 = 1 m 3. [1] The metric system also includes the litre (L) as a unit of volume, where 1 L = 1 dm 3 = 1000 cm 3 = 0.001 m 3.

    Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L. From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density (+3.98 °C) [ citation needed ] and standard pressure .

    The measure of 42 US or wine gallons corresponds to a wine tierce (third-pipe). A wine barrel, or 1 ⁄ 8 tun, measures 31.5 US gallons (26.2 imp gal; 119.2 L). Applicable standards include: ISO 15750-1:2002. Packaging — Steel drums — Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 208 L, 210 L, and 216.5 L

    Microplastics are fragments of plastic less than 5 mm (0.20 in) in length, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) [61] [62] and the European Chemicals Agency. [63] US EPA researchers define microplastics as plastic particles ranging in size from 1 nanometer up to 5 mm, which is 5 million nanometers. For ...

    LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]

  8. Gram per cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_per_cubic_centimetre

    The official SI symbols are g/cm 3, g·cm −3, or g cm −3. It is equivalent to the units gram per millilitre (g/mL) and kilogram per litre (kg/L). The density of water is about 1 g/cm 3, since the gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at its maximum density at 4 °C (39 °F). [1]

  9. Cubic centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre

    A cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter in US English) (SI unit symbol: cm 3; non-SI abbreviations: cc and ccm) is a commonly used unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm. One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of one millilitre.
