Centiliters (cL) to Milliliters (mL) Conversion
Centiliters
The centilitre is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a litre (10 mL), used primarily in Europe for expressing beverage servings and wine bottle volumes. A standard wine glass serving in European restaurants is typically 12.5 cL, and spirits are commonly served in 2.5 or 5 cL measures. The centilitre is rarely used in scientific contexts, where millilitres and litres are preferred.
Milliliters
The millilitre is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a litre, or exactly one cubic centimetre (1 cm³). It is the standard unit for small liquid volumes in medicine, pharmacy, and laboratory science. One millilitre of water at 4 °C has a mass of exactly 1 gram, making the millilitre and gram functionally interchangeable for dilute aqueous solutions.
