Tips
- 1 ml = 1 cm³ exactly.
- Medicine: teaspoon ≈ 5 ml, tablespoon ≈ 15 ml, shot glass ≈ 25 ml.
- Measuring jugs marked in ml provide 2–5 ml accuracy; use a syringe below 10 ml.
Common mistakes
- Dosing liquid medication by kitchen spoon — spoons vary 3–8 ml. Use the supplied syringe.
- Confusing ml (volume) with mg (mass) on medication labels — different units entirely.
- Reading a "cc" measurement as cubic centimetre with different value — it is identical to ml.
