When you need to convert litre to millilitre

Volume conversions show up most in the kitchen and at the pump — scaling a recipe written for another country, dosing a liquid, or comparing fuel and drink sizes between metric and US/UK measures.

Typical values: 0.5 L is about 500 ml, and 5 L works out to roughly 5000 ml. Because the ratio is fixed at 1000, you can scale any amount linearly — doubling the litres doubles the millilitres.

US and UK 'cups', 'pints' and 'gallons' differ, so always check which system a recipe or label uses before converting.

How to convert litre to millilitre
