Understanding Fluid Ounces and Milliliters
Fluid ounces (fl oz) and milliliters (ml) are commonly used units of volume measurement. Fluid ounces are primarily used in the United States and a few other countries, while milliliters are the standard unit of measurement in most parts of the world.
Fluid ounces are a measurement of volume used for liquids, whereas milliliters are a metric unit of volume. Both units are often used to measure the volume of beverages, cooking ingredients, and medical liquids.
The conversion between fluid ounces and milliliters is essential when you need to switch between these two units of measurement. Our FLOZtoML converter provides accurate and convenient conversions, allowing you to convert fluid ounces to milliliters and vice versa with ease.

To convert fluid ounces to milliliters, you can use the following formula:
Milliliters = Fluid Ounces x 29.5735
Conversely, to convert milliliters to fluid ounces, you can use the formula:
Fluid Ounces = Milliliters / 29.5735
Fluid Ounces (fl oz)
Fluid ounces, often abbreviated as fl oz, are a unit of measurement used to quantify the volume of liquids. This unit is primarily used in the United States and a few other countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, for various applications. In the US, fluid ounces are commonly used in everyday life for measuring beverages, cooking ingredients, and personal care products.
One fluid ounce is equivalent to approximately 29.5735 milliliters in the metric system. It is important to note that fluid ounces should not be confused with ounces used for measuring weight. While both units share the same name, they represent different measurements. Fluid ounces are specifically used to measure volume, while ounces are used to measure mass.
Milliliters (ml)
Milliliters, abbreviated as ml, are a metric unit of measurement commonly used worldwide to quantify liquid volumes. Unlike fluid ounces, milliliters are part of the International System of Units (SI) and are recognized in almost every country. They provide a standard unit for measuring liquid volumes in various fields, including scientific research, medicine, and cooking.
One milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter (cc) and is equivalent to 0.0338 fluid ounces in the US customary system. Milliliters offer a precise and convenient way to measure liquids, as they allow for more accurate and consistent results across different applications.
The milliliter is part of the metric system, which provides a coherent and widely adopted measurement system based on powers of ten. This allows for easy conversions between different metric units, making it simple to convert milliliters to liters or other metric units for more extensive measurements.
