Convert milliliter to centiliter
Enter a value below to convert milliliter [mL] to centiliter [cL]. Reverse conversion: Convert centiliter to milliliter.
1 mL = 0.1 cL. To convert milliliter to centiliter, multiply the value by 0.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cL = 10 mL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Milliliter to Centiliter: Quick Reference
- 1 mL = 0.1 cL
- 1 cL = 10 mL
- 10 mL = 1 cL

Milliliter: Definition and Use
A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The milliliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century, aligning with the liter as the base unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
The milliliter is widely used in science, medicine, cooking, and everyday measurements to quantify liquids and small volumes.
Centiliter: Definition and Use
A centiliter (cL) is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The centiliter was introduced as part of the metric system to provide convenient subdivisions of the liter, which was established in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system in France.
Current Use
The centiliter is used primarily in countries that utilize the metric system for measuring liquids, such as in beverage labeling, cooking, and scientific contexts, especially in Europe.
