One Liter equals 1000 Milliliters (1 l = 1000 ml). Liter is used in beverage bottles and cartons and in fuel sales outside the US. Milliliter is used in liquid medicine doses.
Precision and Rounding:US and imperial volume units share names but differ in size (an imperial gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon), so confirm which system a figure uses before converting. Kitchen work tolerates rounding to the nearest milliliter or quarter-teaspoon; fuel, chemistry, and brewing need three or more decimal places.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
