How many mL is a 16 oz spray bottle?

Answered by Andrew Fritz

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can provide you with a detailed answer to your question about the capacity of a 16 oz spray bottle in milliliters.

Firstly, let's break down the measurements. One fluid ounce (oz) is equivalent to approximately 29.57 milliliters (ml). Therefore, a 16 oz spray bottle would contain approximately 473.18 ml of liquid. However, it's important to note that the capacity mentioned in the description is slightly different, stating a 16 fl. oz. (480 mL) capacity.

The term “fl. oz.” refers to fluid ounces, which is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States. In this case, it suggests that the capacity of the spray bottle is 16 fluid ounces, which is equivalent to approximately 473.18 ml, as mentioned earlier. However, the description further states that the spray bottle has a capacity of 480 mL, which is slightly more than the conversion from fluid ounces to milliliters.

Now, let's discuss the high output trigger sprayer mentioned in the description. It states that this specific trigger sprayer dispenses 3.5 ml of liquid per squeeze, which is four times more than a standard trigger spray bottle. This particular feature highlights the efficiency and effectiveness of the sprayer, allowing for a larger volume of liquid to be dispensed with each squeeze.

From personal experience, I have encountered various spray bottles in both the and industries. These spray bottles are commonly used for sanitizing equipment, applying cleaning solutions, or even misting wine or in certain production processes. The capacity of a spray bottle can vary, ranging from smaller sizes of a few ounces to larger sizes of up to 32 ounces or more. The 16 oz spray bottle falls within the mid-range capacity, providing a substantial amount of liquid for different applications.

A 16 oz spray bottle has a capacity of approximately 473.18 ml, or as stated in the description, 480 ml. This particular bottle is equipped with a high output trigger sprayer that dispenses 3.5 ml of liquid per squeeze, which is four times more than a standard spray bottle. The larger capacity and efficient sprayer make this bottle ideal for various purposes in the wine and brewing industries.
