Milliliter (mL)
The millilitre (mL) is one thousandth of a litre and is exactly equal to one cubic centimetre (cm³, cc).
Symbol: mL
Quantity: volume (capacity)
SI relation: 1 mL = 0.000001 m³ (exact)
Derivation: 1 mL = 10⁻³ L = 1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³
Exact: yes, by definition
Same quantity as cubic centimeter (cm³) : the factor between them is exactly 1.
Typical uses
- Medicine doses and syringes
- Laboratory volumetric glassware
- Beverage and cosmetic packaging
