How the Conversion Works

This calculator uses a two-step conversion process through liters (L) as the base unit, which is the standard unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).

Conversion Formula:

Step 1: Convert from mL to liters (L)

Value in L = Input value ÷ 1,000

Step 2: Convert from liters (L) to gal (US)

Result = Value in L × 0.264172

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 0.000264172
Where 0.000264172 is the conversion factor from mL to gal (US)

Example Calculation:

Let's convert 16 mL to gal (US):

16 mL ÷ 1,000 = 0.016 L
0.016 L × 0.264172 = 0.004227 gal (US)

Result: 16 mL = 0.004227 gal (US)
