  1. Conversion factor

    1 fl oz=29.5735295625 mL1\ \text{fl oz} = 29.5735295625\ \text{mL}

    Exact by definition.

  2. Multiply

    8×29.5735295625=236.5882365 mL8 \times 29.5735295625 = 236.5882365\ \text{mL}

About the US fluid ounces to milliliters converter

US fluid ounces are volume measures used on beverage packaging and measuring cups. They are different from ounces of mass and from imperial fluid ounces. Use the labelled US amount as the starting value, and do not infer an ingredient's weight from volume alone.

One US fluid ounce is exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters, so 8 fl oz is 236.588237 mL. To convert oz to ml, multiply by 29.5735295625; to convert back, multiply by 0.0338140227.

The US fluid ounce is 1/128 of a US gallon, exactly 29.5735295625 mL. Because both units are defined exactly, the factor above is exact and the results here carry no conversion error.

Questions

When would I convert oz to ml?

US fluid ounces are volume measures used on beverage packaging and measuring cups. They are different from ounces of mass and from imperial fluid ounces. Use the labelled US amount as the starting value, and do not infer an ingredient's weight from volume alone.

How many milliliters are in a US fluid ounce?

One US fluid ounce is exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters. The US fluid ounce is 1/128 of a US gallon, exactly 29.5735295625 mL.

How accurate is the US fluid ounces to milliliters converter?

Accuracy depends on your inputs and the method's assumptions. Decimal arithmetic uses 50 significant digits, but estimates, numerical methods and source data can be less precise; the displayed rounding does not remove those limits. It is checked against 3 worked examples whose answers come from independent sources; for example, “8 fl oz to mL” is checked against Exact-fraction computation from the legal unit definitions (scripts/gen-pairs.py, Python fractions).

Where does the method come from?

NIST SP 811 (2008), Guide for the Use of the International System of Units, Appendix B; NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C: General tables of units of measurement; BIPM, The International System of Units (SI Brochure), 9th edition.
