📖 About Ounces to Milliliters

Liquid Volumetric Metrology & NIST SP 811 Standards

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a measure of liquid volume, not mass. There are two primary international systems:

  • US Customary Fluid Ounce: (1) / (128) US gal = 29.573530 mL = (1) / (8) US cup = 2 US Tbsp = 6 US tsp
  • UK Imperial Fluid Ounce: (1) / (160) UK gal = 28.413063 mL
  • US FDA Nutrition Labeling: 30.000000 mL (rounded for food labels)

Primary Beverage Bottle Volume Equivalents

  • 1.5 fl oz (Jigger Shot): = 44.36 mL = 3.0 Tbsp
  • 8.0 fl oz (1 Cup Coffee): = 236.59 mL = 1.00 cup
  • 12.0 fl oz (Soda Can): = 354.88 mL = 1.50 cups
  • 16.0 fl oz (US Pint): = 473.18 mL = 2.00 cups
  • 16.91 fl oz (Water Bottle): 500.00 mL = 0.500 L
  • 20.0 fl oz (UK Imperial Pint): = 568.26 mL = 2.40 cups
  • 25.36 fl oz (Wine Bottle): 750.00 mL = 0.750 L

Equations

  • Milliliters (mL) = US Fluid Ounces (fl oz) × 29.57353
  • US Fluid Ounces (fl oz) = Milliliters (mL)29.57353

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your Volume Value to Convert (e.g. 12.0), Fluid Ounce Standard — choose from US Customary Fluid Ounce (29.574 mL / US Standard), UK Imperial Fluid Ounce (28.413 mL / British Pint), US Nutrition / FDA Labeling Ounce (30.000 mL), Beverage & Mixology Benchmark — choose from Custom Volume Value, 1.5 fl oz (44.4 mL / Cocktail Jigger Shot), 8.0 fl oz (236.6 mL / 1-Cup Coffee Mug), and Conversion Direction — choose from Fluid Ounces to Milliliters (fl oz → mL / multiply by 29.574), Milliliters to Fluid Ounces (mL → fl oz / divide by 29.574). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Understanding Your Result

Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
