To convert from Centiliter (cl) to Fluid Ounce (fl-oz), use the following formula:
With is the ratio between the base units Fluid Ounce (fl-oz) and Liter (l).
Let's convert 5 Centiliter (cl) to Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Centiliter (cl) is equal to Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).

A centiliter (cl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a liter.
It's a common measurement you'll often see on beverage containers and in recipes.
The centiliter is directly related to the liter, the base unit of volume in the metric system. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, which makes the conversion very simple.
There are 100 centiliters in one liter:
While scientists often use milliliters, you can find centiliters on many everyday consumer products, especially in Europe.
Common examples include:
Converting between centiliters and milliliters is easy because the metric system is based on units of 10. Since "milli" means one-thousandth, the rule is simple:
To convert centiliters to milliliters, you multiply the number of centiliters by 10.
For example, a standard 75 cl wine bottle contains 750 milliliters (ml).
75 cl × 10 = 750 ml
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a common unit used to measure volume in the imperial and US customary systems.
It tells you how much space a liquid takes up.
This is a common point of confusion: no, they are not the same!
The US fluid ounce is slightly larger than the UK (Imperial) fluid ounce. This slight difference is crucial to remember for recipes and measurements, especially when converting between systems.
The word "ounce" can be tricky because it measures two different things:
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume (how much space something occupies).
An ounce (oz) measures weight (how heavy something is).
Think of it like this: a fluid ounce tells you the size of a container, while a regular ounce tells you how heavy its contents are.
For example, one fluid ounce of honey is much heavier than one fluid ounce of cooking oil because honey has a higher density.
The idea of the fluid ounce has a practical history.
In the British Imperial system, it was initially defined as the volume taken up by one ounce of water at a specific temperature.
This simple link between weight and volume made it a convenient and intuitive unit for measuring everyday liquids like water, wine, and ale for centuries.
