Ounces to Milliliters Converter

Ounce to Milliliter (oz to mL ) Conversion

Converting between ounces and milliliters is a common task in cooking, bartending, medicine, and other fields where precise liquid measurements are essential. Ounces, specifically fluid ounces, are a unit of volume in the imperial system, primarily used in the United States, while milliliters are a metric unit used globally. This guide provides a clear explanation of the conversion process, including the formula, a step-by-step method, a conversion chart, and specific conversions for commonly queried values like 1 ounce to milliliters or 8 ounces to milliliters. It also addresses conversions for specific liquids like water and answers frequently asked questions such as “Is 30 mL the same as 1 oz?” or “How much is 8 oz in ml?” The focus is on fluid ounces (fl oz), as this is the standard for liquid measurements, unless otherwise specified.

What Is a Fluid Ounce?

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume in the US customary and imperial systems, used to measure liquids. In the US, 1 fluid ounce equals exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters. The UK imperial fluid ounce, less commonly used, equals approximately 28.4130625 milliliters. This guide focuses on the US fluid ounce unless otherwise noted, as it’s the most prevalent in recipes and everyday use. A fluid ounce differs from a weight ounce (used for mass), so context is key when measuring.

What Is a Milliliter?

A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume, equal to one-thousandth of a liter or one cubic centimeter (cm³). It’s widely used worldwide for precise measurements in cooking, medicine, and science, often marked on measuring cups, syringes, or bottles. The metric system’s base-10 structure simplifies scaling: 10 ml = 1 centiliter, 100 ml = 1 deciliter, 1,000 ml = 1 liter. Also check this Cups to Milliliters Converter.

How to Convert Ounces to Milliliters (oz to mL )?

Converting ounces to milliliters (or milliliters to ounces) is straightforward with the correct conversion factor:

Identify the ounce type: For US fluid ounces, use 29.5735295625 ml per ounce. For UK imperial fluid ounces (less common), use 28.4130625 ml.

Apply the formula:

• Ounces to milliliters: Milliliters = Fluid Ounces × 29.5735295625 (US)
• Milliliters to ounces: Fluid Ounces = Milliliters ÷ 29.5735295625 (US)

Example: Convert 8 US fluid ounces to milliliters: 8 × 29.5735295625 = 236.5882365 ≈ 236.588 ml.

(oz to mL ) Ounce to Milliliter Formula

The formulas for conversion are:

• US Fluid Ounces to Milliliters: Milliliters = Fluid Ounces × 29.5735295625

• Milliliters to US Fluid Ounces: Fluid Ounces = Milliliters ÷ 29.5735295625

• UK Imperial Fluid Ounces to Milliliters: Milliliters = Fluid Ounces × 28.4130625

For most applications, the US fluid ounce is standard. Example: 500 ml to US fluid ounces = 500 ÷ 29.5735295625 ≈ 16.907 fl oz. also use this Gallons to Liters Conversion.

Ounce to Milliliter Conversion Chart

This chart provides conversions for common US fluid ounce values to milliliters, rounded to 3 decimal places, addressing terms like “ounce to milliliter chart” or “ounces to milliliter conversion chart”:

Ounces to Milliliters for Specific Liquids

Ounces to Milliliters Water

Water, with a density of 1 g/ml at standard temperature, converts directly by volume. Example: 1 US fl oz of water = 29.5735295625 ml ≈ 29.574 ml. The conversion is the same for any liquid (e.g., juice, oil) as fluid ounces and milliliters measure volume, not weight.

Ounces to Milliliters Other Liquids

For liquids like milk, cream, or oil, the conversion is identical to water because fluid ounces and milliliters are volume-based. Example: 8 US fl oz of milk = 236.588 ml. Density only matters when converting to grams (e.g., 1 fl oz water = 29.5735295625 grams, but 1 fl oz oil ≈ 27.3 grams due to lower density).
