About these units

Milliliter (mL)

Metric (SI)Current unit

One thousandth of a liter, or exactly 1 cubic centimeter. Used for medicine, cooking and small containers.

Milliliters inherit everything from the liter, since the prefix simply means one thousandth. Because the liter is a cubic decimeter, a milliliter works out to exactly one cubic centimeter, a coincidence the metric system built in on purpose so that volume, length and mass interlock. One milliliter of water has a mass of about one gram, so a dosing syringe, a kitchen scale and a measuring jug can all be checked against one another.

Today milliliters dominate wherever small amounts must be measured precisely: medicine, flavorings, perfume, shampoo and the fine print on drink labels. Spelling is a mild regional split, with uppercase mL preferred in the United States, Canada and Australia and lowercase ml common in the UK and Europe. For scale, a US teaspoon is just under 5 mL, a US tablespoon is about 14.8 mL, and the US nutrition-label cup is exactly 240 mL, so one such cup is 240 of these tiny units.

1 milliliter = 0.001 liters (exactly).

US Bushel (bu)

US customaryTraditional unit (still used in some regions)

Exactly 2,150.42 cubic inches (35.239 L). A dry measure for grain and produce; commodity prices are quoted per bushel.

English statutes tied the bushel to the cylinder-shaped Winchester measure, 18.5 inches across and 8 inches deep, which holds about 2,150.42 cubic inches. The United States kept that volume, 35.239 L, when Britain did not: the Weights and Measures Act 1824 replaced it with an imperial bushel of 8 imperial gallons, about 36.37 L. As a result, an American and a British bushel differ by about 3 percent. The name probably comes from Old French boissiel, a little box.

The bushel entered England after the Norman Conquest as a step between the pound and the ton, and it was later redefined by weight, 56 avoirdupois pounds in the sixteenth century. Today it is largely a mass measure for grain, quoted in standard weights per commodity: 60 lb for wheat and soybeans, 56 lb for shelled maize, 48 lb for barley and 32 lb for oats in the US. Commodity futures prices on American exchanges are still quoted per bushel.

1 US bushel = 35.23907017 liters (approximately).
