Got a quick question about measuring my cc

[AllTheWay]

In addition, it's technically a mL. Too many people, including MDs, mistakenly call it a cc. It's a liquid; therefore, it's measured in liters.

not true. it is very very common to use cc and ml interchangeably as they are the exact same measurement. many syringes are marked with cc on the barrel. it is just a different standard of measurement.

i use ml in my records but always use cc on a prescription label because people are more familiar with it!

...depends on the size of the plunger.

thats what SHE said!
(thanks. i'll be here all week)

Sorry, Charlie. One-cc = one-mL; however, a liter is the space a liquid occupies. A cubic centimeter is the space one-mL occupies. If you're measuring a liquid, the correct terminology to use is liters, or mL in this case. This is strictly from a technical aspect. They may be the exact same measurement, but the meanings are different. Using cc for a liquid measurement shows a bit of ignorance. If you can find one liquid product in the grocery store that is measured in cc, I'll give you a dollar. Look at your soda - liters. Look at your shampoo - liters. Look at your bottle of KY - liters (I wish they came in kiloliters, though).

i buy my KY by the gallon...

DU is 100% correct on this.....get hammered on this shit in class. "Although measurements and quantity are identical one must use the technically appropriate term in order to receive credit...blah, blah, blah.."

a 3 cc syringe the plunger is about 1/2ml in size. one has to remember that syringes come in all size and depending on the size of the syringe depends on the size of the plunger.

We can't possibly be talking about the same thing here doc, haha. What I consider the plunger is the black rubber piece that actually forms the seal, NOT to include the plastic housing underneath said plunger. I use 3ml syringes, whether to pin with or to backload my slin pins, and my black rubber plunger is about 1/10th of a ml thick.

@ Like-a-weed: No matter how anal you are about how much oil you are pulling, it will rarely be exactly the right dose. Don't fret too much about 1/10th of a ml, because ending your cycle a few days early because you were a little short isn't going to destroy the cycle.

So in other words, when you inject air into the vial to create pressure, you are injecting cc's, but when you pull the oil back out, you are pulling ml's. Do I pass?

very true. i learned this the hard way

That's when you know the economy is rough, lol

I take it you got a few questions wrong? Don't forget to also not use the term "fluid" for "liquid," as a gas is also a fluid.

So in other words, when you inject air into the vial to create pressure, you are injecting cc's, but when you pull the oil back out, you are pulling ml's. Do I pass?

You only pass if you state the pressure induced from the cc's of a gas is in Pascals.

Rather than worry about 1/100-mL (it's actually 0.01088-mL in a 20-g, 1.5" needle), worry about if your source actually dosed it correctly. Chances are, the dosage is way off and that has a greater impact than what you lose in the volume of the needle.

 

[Dangling Unit]

one thing to consider is the volume of the needle... the larger gauge and length the more volume... and most guys load with 20g... which can potentially hold 1/10th of an ml... 1/10th of an ml doesn't sound like much but when you multiply it by 10 you will be way short on your last shot...

So keep that in mind...

20-g inside diameter = 0.603-mm
1.5" = 38.1-mm
Volume = pi*r^2*h = 3.14159*(0.603/2)*(0.603/2)*38.1 = 10.88-mm^3 = 0.01088-cm^3 = 0.01088-mL = 1/100-mL

So when I squeeze my ass-cheeks together really hard to try to keep from farting in church, but it eeks out anyway, I can blame it on Pascal? Good to know, thanks.
