About these units
Milliliter (mL)
A milliliter, defined as 1/1,000 of a liter or precisely 1 cubic centimeter, is a small but enormously significant volume unit in cooking, medicine, pharmacy, and laboratory science. Medical syringes, dosing spoons, and IV solutions rely heavily on milliliter accuracy. In laboratories, mL measurements are routine for preparing reagents, dilutions, and biological media. Because 1 mL = 1 cm³, many devices use either notation interchangeably depending on context. Despite its small size, the milliliter is commonly used in daily life as well—perfume bottles, beverage labels, and household cleaners often list contents in milliliters. Its precision and simplicity make the milliliter one of the world's most practical measurement units.
Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK))
A UK fluid ounce equals 28.4130625 mL, slightly larger than the US fluid ounce. It forms part of the imperial system used in cooking, beverage preparation, and older pharmaceutical formulations. Imperial fluid ounces were historically derived from the UK gallon (1/160 of a gallon), distinguishing them from US units derived from a different gallon. Though metric units dominate in the UK today, fluid ounces still appear in bartending, antique recipes, and product packaging that caters to traditional preferences or legacy export markets.
