deciliteri

Decilitileri are units of volume equal to one tenth of a liter. They are denoted by the symbol dL, with the d lowercase and the L uppercase. One decilitile equals 0.1 liters or 100 milliliters, and equivalently 1 liter equals 10 decilitileri.

In practical terms, decilitileri are used in cooking, beverage labeling, and some medical or nutritional contexts. They appear on recipes or nutrition facts in countries that rely on the metric system. In scientific writing, however, milliliters are often preferred for precision, and in many laboratories the liter and milliliter scale is standard.

Conversion and relationships: 1 dL = 100 mL = 100 cubic centimeters (cm3). Conversely, 1 L = 10 dL. These relationships make decilitileri a convenient intermediate scale between liters and milliliters for certain measurements, such as measuring liquids in kitchen portions or dose amounts in some medical contexts.

Notation and regional usage: The internationally accepted symbol is dL. English-language spellings vary by region; American English uses deciliter, while British and other varieties use decilitre. In Romanian, the unit is generally called decilitru, with plural forms such as decilitri; the form deciliteri may appear as a nonstandard or less common variant in some texts.
