US Tablespoon vs Cubic Centimetre: which is bigger?
A us tablespoon is the larger unit: one us tablespoon equals 14.78676 cubic centimetres. Put another way, you need 14.78676 cubic centimetres to make a single us tablespoon.
What is a US Tablespoon? History, origin and usage
The tablespoon entered measurement in the 18th century as an unofficial apothecaries' unit equal to half a fluid ounce, or four drams, and that relationship survives in the modern US customary tablespoon. It grew out of the actual serving spoon used at the table.
The tablespoon is a universal cooking measure for oils, sauces, sugar, butter and spices, and three teaspoons make one tablespoon. It is one of the few customary units used routinely even in metric kitchens.
Tablespoon sizes are not the same worldwide: the US, UK and Canada use a tablespoon of roughly 15 millilitres, but the Australian tablespoon is 20 millilitres, equal to four teaspoons rather than three. This can quietly throw off a recipe carried across borders.
What is a Cubic Centimetre? History, origin and usage
The cubic centimetre comes from the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system that preceded modern SI, being the volume of a cube one centimetre on each side. It long predates the formal SI but maps cleanly onto it as one millionth of a cubic metre.
The cubic centimetre, abbreviated cc, is the traditional way to state engine displacement for motorcycles, small cars and scooters, and it remains common in medicine and laboratory science. Engineers use it for small mechanical volumes where the millilitre feels less tangible.
One cubic centimetre equals exactly one millilitre, so a 1,000 cc motorcycle engine displaces one litre. Medical staff often say cc and ml interchangeably, though many hospitals now prefer ml on charts to avoid misreading handwritten abbreviations.

Tips for converting US Tablespoon to Cubic Centimetre
- To go from us tablespoon to cubic centimetre, multiply by 14.78676; to go back, divide by 14.78676 (or multiply by 0.06762805).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 us tablespoon ≈ 14.78676 cubic centimetre, so 10 us tablespoon ≈ 147.8676 cubic centimetre.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this US Tablespoon to Cubic Centimetre converter
Type a number into the US Tablespoon field and the equivalent in Cubic Centimetre appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Cubic Centimetre field to convert the other way (cubic centimetre to us tablespoon). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 tbsp = 14.78676 cm³), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for us tablespoon-to-cubic centimetre conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Sources
- NIST Special Publication 811 — Guide for the Use of the SI — publishes the exact metric equivalents of the customary units. The inch, foot, yard and mile are defined exactly in metres by the 1959 international yard-and-pound agreement, so every imperial figure on this page is exact, not rounded.
- BIPM — The International System of Units (SI Brochure) — the defining document for the SI, published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It fixes the base unit that this conversion resolves to, which is why the factor here can be exact rather than approximate.
Watch the system: a <strong>US</strong> gallon, quart, pint and fluid ounce are <strong>not</strong> the same size as the <strong>imperial (UK)</strong> ones — a US gallon is 3.785 L while an imperial gallon is 4.546 L, and a US fluid ounce (29.57 mL) is slightly larger than an imperial fluid ounce (28.41 mL). The units on this page are labelled US or Imperial so the result is unambiguous.
