Definitions and unit facts
Milliliter (mL) — SI unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter. Exact relations: 1 mL = 0.001 L; 1 mL = 1 cm³. System: SI. Abbreviation: mL. Common cross-reference: 1 mL ≈ 0.033814 US fl oz. Used in dosing, lab work, cosmetics, and packaged beverages.
Liter (L) — SI unit with a special name for the cubic decimeter. Exact relations: 1 L = 1000 mL; 1 L = 1 dm³. System: SI. Abbreviation: L. Common cross-reference: 1 L ≈ 33.814 US fl oz. Used in beverage labeling, fuel volumes, and laboratory glassware.
Conversion formula
liters = milliliters ÷ 1000. Source: NIST — SI Units: Volume (1 L = 1000 mL; 1 mL = 1 cm³)
