What is a centiliter?

A centiliter (cL) is a metric volume unit equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used for small liquid measures.

What is the hin (Biblical)?

The hin is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit used historically for measuring oil and wine, roughly estimated near 0.57 liters.

Is the conversion exact between centiliter and hin?

No, the conversion is approximate since the hin varies historically, so results are estimates rather than exact values.
