Milliliters
A Milliliter is a metric volume unit equal to one-thousandth of a liter. It is generally used to measure very small amounts of liquid in cooking or medication. For example, a standard teaspoon is about 5 ml.
When converting volume measurements, be sure to remember that the dimensions are cubed and so doubling the sides of a cube will increase the volume by a factor of eight. To make conversions easier, please use our conversion calculators such as the one on this page and refer to the calculation underneath if you want to understand how the conversion is calculated.

A milliliter is exactly one cubic centimeter, and a milliliter of water weighs about a gram – so 250mL of water is 250g.
