A milliliter or millilitre is one one-thousandth of a liter or one cubic centimeter - its symbol is ml, (sometimes 'mL' only in the US, Canada and Australia). (Although somtimes disregarded, especially by anglophones, the rules of the Société Internationale state that metric abbreviations should never be capitalized.) The milliliter is a common measurement for liquids in cooking, and it is fairly easily translated between different types of measurement. For example, 30 ml of a fluid is equivalent to one fluid ounce, 15 ml a tablespoon, and 5 ml a teaspoon. Water has a weight of exactly 1 g/ml at 4 °C at atmospheric pressure.
