Convert cubic centimeters to pounds using water or another material density, or solve for volume and density with results in ounces, kilograms, and grams.
LBS from CC Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the LBS from CC.
LBS = CC * D
Variables:
- LBS is the LBS from CC (pounds)
- CC is the total cc’s (cm^3)
- D is the density (lbs/cm^3)
To calculate lbs from CCs, multiply the cubic centimeters by the density.
| Cubic centimeters (cm³) | Pounds (lb) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.002 |
| 5 | 0.011 |
| 10 | 0.022 |
| 15 | 0.033 |
| 30 | 0.066 |

How to Calculate LBS from CC?
The following steps outline how to calculate the LBS from CC.
- First, determine the total cc’s (cm^3).
- Next, determine the density (lbs/cm^3).
- Next, gather the formula from above = LBS = CC * D.
- Finally, calculate the LBS from CC.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total cc’s (cm^3) = 500
density (lbs/cm^3) = 30
LBS = CC * D = ?
