How to Convert Deciliter to Fluid Ounce (UK)
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
For example, 1 Deciliter (dL) = 3.519507973 Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK)).

About Deciliter (dL)
Definition
The deciliter is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (10⁻¹ L), or 100 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
Practical Applications
Scandinavian cooking recipes, clinical blood test concentrations (mg/dL), and European nutritional labels (per 100 mL = 1 dL).
Interesting Facts
In Sweden and Norway, recipes use deciliters instead of cups. Normal blood glucose is 70–100 mg/dL (fasting).
Common Mistakes
Confusing dL with mL in medical contexts — 1 dL = 100 mL, so a result of 100 mg/dL ≠ 100 mg/mL.
Educational Tips
Remember: 'deci' = tenth. 1 dL = a tenth of a liter = 100 mL. Nordic recipes use dL where Americans use cups.
About Fluid Ounce (UK) (fl oz (UK))
Definition
The UK fluid ounce is a unit of liquid volume equal to 1/160 of an imperial gallon, or approximately 28.413 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK fl oz = 1/20 UK pt = 1/160 UK gal ≈ 28.4131 mL. It is about 4% smaller than a US fluid ounce.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 28.4131. To US fl oz: multiply by 0.96076. To UK pints: divide by 20.
Practical Applications
Older UK recipes, some beverage labels in Commonwealth countries, and traditional pharmaceutical dosing.
Interesting Facts
Paradoxically, the UK fluid ounce is smaller than the US fluid ounce (28.41 vs. 29.57 mL), even though UK pints and gallons are larger.
Common Mistakes
Assuming UK and US fluid ounces are the same — they differ by about 4%. This seems small but accumulates in recipes.
Educational Tips
UK fl oz ≈ 28.4 mL, US fl oz ≈ 29.6 mL. The UK has more fl oz per pint (20) vs. US (16), but each UK fl oz is smaller.
