Kl (kilolitre) is also a measuring unit of capacity.

            But, it is used to measure very large amount of volume.

            If you see at any bottle of liquid medicine or a juice tetrapack, you will find

            its capacity in millilitre (ml) printed on it.














                 15 Litres         2 Litres        1 Litre            5 Litres             100 ml            200 ml


            Milli means one thousandth, that is one part out of 1000 parts. So, millilitre

            means one thousandth of a litre.


                                            1 litre (l) = 1000 millilitre (ml)


            A millilitre is a very small amount.




                                                A teaspoon holds about 5 millilitres of liquid.
                          5 ml

                                                A tablespoon holds about 10 millilitres of liquid.


                         10 ml

            The litre jug is a container that can be used to measure capacity.


            Here are some containers for measuring capacity of liquid.
