Convert Cubic millimetres to US cups
1 cubic millimetre is 0.000004227 cup. One cubic millimetre is exactly 0.00000422675283773 US cups.
One cubic millimetre is 4.2268 × 10^-6 US cups. To convert cubic millimetres to US cups, multiply by 4.2268 × 10^-6; to go the other way, divide by 4.2268 × 10^-6 or multiply by 236588.24. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 130. A millionth of a litre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and volume cubes the factor.

How do you convert cubic millimetres to US cups? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in cubic millimetres.
- 2.Multiply by 4.2268 × 10^-6 — that is how many US cups fit in one cubic millimetre.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 4.2268 × 10^-6, or multiply by 236588.24.
Worked example: 25 cubic millimetres to US cups
- Formula
- mm³ × 4.2268 × 10^-6 = cup
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 4.2268 × 10^-6 = 0.0001057 cup
- Answer
- 25 mm³ = 0.0001057 cup
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a cubic millimetre?
A millionth of a litre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and volume cubes the factor. A microlitre by another name, and the unit injection-moulding shot sizes are quoted in.
What is a US cup?
Eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml. The "legal" cup on nutrition labels is a rounded 240 ml.
How many US cups are in a cubic millimetre?
One cubic millimetre is 4.2268 × 10^-6 US cups. Going the other way, one US cup is 236588.24 cubic millimetres. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
