Centilitre to Millilitre

Exact answer: 1 cl = 10 ml (exact – SI decimal prefix)

Centilitre and Millilitre both belong to the Volume family. The difference is a decimal prefix, so the factor is a clean power of ten. Volume appears in the kitchen, in retail, in process engineering and with liquids of every kind.

Examples

011 cl = 10 ml

Example value from the reference table. Internal calculation uses stored factors; display output is rounded.

02Common mistake

Volume is robust for liquids. For dry ingredients it does not replace weighing because density and packing vary.

03Base unit: l

1 cl = 0.01 l. Then the value is converted through the base unit l into Millilitre.
