deciliter to milliliter
Convert deciliter (dL) to milliliter (mL). Use an editable volume converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dL = 100 mL
Conversion formula
One deciliter equals 100 milliliter. Multiply your value in deciliter by this factor to get milliliter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 deciliter:5 × 100 = 500 mL

About these measurements
Volume describes three-dimensional space or liquid capacity.
The base reference used here is the liter. One deciliter is 0.1 base units; one milliliter is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
US liquid measures and Imperial measures are different. Dry gallons and recipe cups are excluded.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
