Milliliters (mL)

A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equivalent to one-thousandth of a liter (1 L = 1000 mL). The term "milliliter" comes from the Latin words "mille," meaning "thousand," and "liter," which refers to a unit of volume. The milliliter has been used as a standard measurement unit since the metric system's introduction in the late 18th century.

Milliliters are commonly used to measure small volumes of liquids (beverages, cosmetics), such as in cooking (recipes outside the US), medicine (e.g., vaccine doses), and laboratory experiments.

• 1 mL = 0.033814 US fluid ounces (fl oz)
• 1 mL = 0.0351951 UK fluid ounces (fl oz)
• 1 mL = 0.001 liters (L)
• 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeter (cm³)
• 1 mL = 0.0610237 cubic inches (cu in)

Fluid Ounce (fl oz)

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume in the imperial system, equivalent to 1/8 of a cup or 1/32 of a quart. The term "fluid ounce" has been used since the 16th century, and it was originally defined as the volume of a pound of water. There are two types of fluid ounces: the US fluid ounce and the UK fluid ounce, which differ slightly in volume. Today, fluid ounces are commonly used in cooking, medicine, and everyday applications, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom.

• 1 US fl oz = 29.5735 millilitres (mL)
• 1 US fl oz = 0.03125 quarts (qt)
• 1 US fl oz = 0.0625 pints (pt)
• 1 US fl oz = 0.125 cups
• 1 US fl oz = 2 tablespoons (tbsp)
• 1 US fl oz = 6 teaspoons (tsp)

Converting mL to oz

The formula to convert milliliters (mL) to fluid ounces (oz) is:

• US Fluid Ounces: 
  US fl oz=mL×0.033814

• UK Fluid Ounces:
  UK fl oz=mL×0.035195

Examples:

1. 10 mL = 10 × 0.033814 = 0.33814 US fl oz
2. 25 mL = 25 × 0.033814 = 0.84535 US fl oz
3. 50 mL = 50 × 0.033814 = 1.01442 US fl oz.

Converting oz to mL

The formula to convert fluid ounces (oz) to milliliters (mL) is:

• US Fluid Ounces:
  mL=US fl oz×29.5735
• UK Fluid Ounces:
  mL=UK fl oz×28.4131

Examples:

1. 2 US fl oz = 2 × 29.5735 = 59.147 mL
2. 4 US fl oz = 4 × 29.5735 = 118.294 mL
3. 8 US fl oz = 8 × 29.5735 = 236.588 mL
