About Milliliter (mL)
A metric unit of volume equal to exactly one thousandth of a litre (0.001 L) and exactly one cubic centimeter (1 mL ≡ 1 cm³ per BIPM). The mL is the universal small-volume unit in clinical medicine and pharmacy (USP / EP / JP / BP / IP pharmacopoeial dosing per ISO 13485 medical-device standards), laboratory chemistry (titration burettes, analytical glassware per ASTM E542), small-batch cooking outside the US, perfume and personal-care products (EU Cosmetic Regulation requires labelling in mL), and beverage packaging (a 500 mL water bottle, 750 mL wine, 700 mL standard spirits bottle in most of the world / 750 mL in US). Reference values: a typical Luer-lock medical syringe 1-60 mL, US shot glass ~44 mL (1.5 fl oz), standard saline IV bag 250-1,000 mL, espresso shot ~30 mL, retail vape juice 30/60/120 mL. In medical and laboratory contexts, mL and cc (cubic centimeters) are used interchangeably — both equal one cm³.
About Tablespoon (tbsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to exactly 1/16 of a US cup, or exactly 3 US teaspoons (≈ 14.7868 mL per NIST SP 811). Tablespoons are the standard US small-quantity cooking-measurement unit: butter portioning (1 stick = 8 tbsp), olive oil and cooking oil drizzles, salt and pepper to taste, fresh herbs, salad dressings, vinaigrettes, marinades, sauce reductions, and pharmaceutical dosing on US-labelled OTC liquid medications. US nutrition facts panels frequently use 'per 1 tbsp' as a serving size (peanut butter, mayonnaise, maple syrup, honey, jam). **Important**: the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL) per AS 1014, set by the National Measurement Act — a 33% difference from the US tablespoon. The UK tablespoon (per BS 2050) and Canadian tablespoon are 15 mL — same as US. Recipes from Australia / NZ measuring by tablespoon should be flagged so international cooks can adjust. 1 tbsp (US) = 0.5 fl oz = 3 tsp = 14.79 mL.
