Milliliter

Volume•SI•ml

Definition and History

The milliliter is a unit of volume in the metric system equal to one thousandth of a liter. It is the most commonly used unit for measuring small liquid volumes in everyday life and scientific applications.

The milliliter was introduced as part of the metric system and provides a practical unit for measuring small quantities of liquids. It is equivalent to one cubic centimeter and is widely used in medicine, cooking, and chemistry.

The milliliter is approximately equal to 0.034 fluid ounces in the US customary system, making it a convenient unit for cross-system conversions and international applications.

Usage and Applications

Milliliters are extensively used in medicine for measuring medication doses, intravenous fluids, and other liquid medications. They are the standard unit for most liquid prescriptions and medical measurements.

In cooking and food preparation, milliliters are used for measuring small amounts of ingredients like spices, extracts, and liquid flavorings. Many recipes specify volumes in milliliters for precise measurements.

Scientific and Engineering Applications

In chemistry and biology, milliliters are used for measuring reaction volumes, culture media, and sample sizes in laboratory experiments and research applications.

In environmental science and engineering, milliliters are used for measuring small quantities of chemicals, pollutants, and other substances in water and air quality monitoring.

International Standards

The milliliter is officially defined as exactly one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter and is part of the metric system's volume measurement hierarchy.

The milliliter is recognized worldwide and is the standard unit for many liquid measurements in medicine, science, and everyday applications, ensuring consistency and accuracy across different fields.
