in the bikes it's written as "cc" for eg:150cc,122cc.can u give the acronym for "cc"?

Answer 1

Cubic centimeters. It has nothing to do whatsoever with how much water it displaces if submerged, its the size of the chamber for the volume of combustible air/fuel mixture.

Answer 2

CC means Cubic Centimeters.

Answer 3

CC is cubic centimeters, a measure of volume, as the others have stated, however, one person suggested that it is related to the amount of water the engine would displace if submerged in water. This is utterly incorrect.

Displacement is related to the amount of air the pistons displace while in motion in the engine. As the piston moves up, air is pushed out (or compressed).

Other handy thing to know: 1000cc is 1 litre. Thus, a 5.0 litre engine is actually a 5,000cc engine.

Answer 4

Cubic Centimeters. The engine is measured by the cylinder displacement. take the bore and stroke, find the cubic area of the cylinder and multiply it by the number of cylinders. (bore is the diameter of the piston and the stroke is how far the piston travels in one half of a crankshaft rotation from top to bottom). It is the not physical size of the engine block, so dunking it in water does not give the displacement. nor is it a measurement of how much air is pumped through the motor. simple math, here's how. first take the area of a circle by multipling the radius of a piston (5 centimeters) by it self (5x5) then by pi (3.14)=78.5 centimeters squared. now multiply that by the stroke (4 centimeters)= 314cc now mulitply by the number of cylinders in the engine (4 cylinders)= 1256cc. you now have a 1.2 liter engine, or 1256 cubic centimeters. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

"CC's" measures cubic centimeter displacement of the motor. On old American bikes, they did not use "cc's", but "cubic inch". If you take my bike for example, it's a 1700cc motor, that comes out to 101 cubic inch displacement.

Hope this helps you.

Answer 6

"cc" stands for cubic centimeters,
550 cc's is 550 cubic centimeters
1200 cc's is 1200 cubic centimeters or 1.2 leters

Answer 7

cc is Cubic centimetres which is the measurement we us in the Uk for the cylinder capacity of an engine.

Answer 8

Why, when ten people have already answered the question does someone else come along a few hours later and give the same answer! Mind boggling.

Answer 9

cc = centimeter cubes.
It is measurable also by mililitres (ml).

10cc = 10ml
that explains 2.0L as 2000cc or 2000ml

1000ml = 1L (litre)

Answer 10

Cubic Centimeters - as in how many cubic centimeters of water the engine displaces. So a 500cc engine submerged in water would displace 500cc's of water.
