About these units
Deciliter (dL)
A deciliter, 1/10 of a liter, appears prominently in medical diagnostics—especially in blood testing. Many laboratory measurements use dL as the denominator, such as mg/dL for blood glucose or cholesterol levels. In Europe, food packaging sometimes lists nutritional values per deciliter, especially for dairy products and soups. The dL is just large enough to be meaningful while still small enough for dietary and medical precision. Though not as common as liters or milliliters, the deciliter serves specialized roles where moderate scale and medical tradition intersect.
Fluid Ounce (US) (fl oz (US))
A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. It is not a unit of weight, despite sometimes being confused with the avoirdupois ounce. In beverage serving sizes, cooking, and pharmaceuticals, the fluid ounce provides a flexible unit for small to medium volumes. It serves as the basis for bartending measurements, packaging labels, and nutritional information. Its precise value derives from the US gallon, making the fluid ounce a key link in the US customary volume system.
