About Liters to Milliliters
Convert liters to milliliters instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 L = 1000 mL.
Needed for precise measurement in cooking, medicine and laboratory work, where litre quantities have to be divided into millilitre doses.
The litre is one cubic decimetre โ a cube 10 cm on each side. It is not formally an SI base unit but is accepted for use alongside them, and it was designed so that one litre of water weighs one kilogram. It is the standard unit for beverages, fuel and liquid capacity in most of the world. A standard water bottle is 500 mL, and a large fizzy-drink bottle is 2 litres.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 L is 1000 mL, 2 L is 2000 mL, 10 L is 10000 mL.
As for the other side of the conversion: A teaspoon is about 5 mL, and a standard can of soft drink is 330 mL.
Volume carries more traps than any other category, because the same unit names mean different amounts in different countries. US and imperial gallons differ by about 20%, pints by nearly as much, and the cup has four separate definitions in common use.
