Convert milliliter to deciliter
Enter a value below to convert milliliter [mL] to deciliter [dL]. Reverse conversion: Convert deciliter to milliliter.
1 mL = 0.01 dL. To convert milliliter to deciliter, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dL = 100 mL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Milliliter to Deciliter: Quick Reference
- 1 mL = 0.01 dL
- 1 dL = 100 mL
- 10 mL = 0.1 dL
- 100 mL = 1 dL
How to Convert Milliliter to Deciliter
1 mL = 0.01 dL
Example: convert 15 mL to dL:
15 mL = 15 × 0.01 dL = 0.15 dL

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.
Deciliter: Definition and Use
A deciliter (dL) is a unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, commonly used to measure liquids.
History/Origin
The deciliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to provide a convenient subdivision of the liter, facilitating measurements in cooking and scientific contexts.
Current Use
Deciliters are used in various countries for measuring liquids in cooking, nutrition labeling, and scientific experiments, especially where metric units are standard.
