About Centiliter (cL)
Definition
The centiliter is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (10⁻² L), or 10 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cL = 0.01 L = 10 mL = 10 cm³. There are 100 cL in one liter.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 10. To liters: divide by 100. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.33814.
Practical Applications
European wine bottles (75 cL), cocktail recipes, perfume bottle sizes, and restaurant drink portions.
Interesting Facts
A standard wine bottle is 75 cL (750 mL). In many French restaurants, drinks are listed in centiliters (e.g., 25 cl glass of wine).
Common Mistakes
Not common in everyday US use — Americans may confuse centiliters with milliliters. Remember: 1 cL = 10 mL.
Educational Tips
Think 'centi = hundredth' — just as a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, a centiliter is 1/100 of a liter.
