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.

The metric teaspoon is standardised at exactly 5 mL, universally used in medicine for oral liquid dosing: "one teaspoon three times daily" = 5 mL.
