About US teaspoon (tsp)
The US teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of culinary volume equal to approximately 4.929 milliliters, one third of a US tablespoon. It is one of the smallest standard US customary volume units, used in cooking, baking, and medicine for small ingredient quantities. The US teaspoon differs from the metric teaspoon (exactly 5 mL) and the imperial teaspoon (about 5.92 mL). In medicine, 5 mL is the standardized dosing teaspoon.
A standard dose of liquid children's medicine is one 5 mL teaspoon. A recipe calling for 1 tsp of vanilla extract uses about 4.93 mL.
About Cubic decameter (dam³)
A cubic decameter (dam³) is the volume of a cube with 10-meter sides, equal to one million liters (1,000 m³). It is used in hydrology, reservoir capacity measurement, and large-scale water management. Though rarely seen in everyday life, it is equivalent to the megaliter (ML) used by water utilities. One cubic decameter of water has a mass of approximately one million kilograms (1,000 tonnes). An Olympic swimming pool holds about 2.5 dam³.
A standard Olympic swimming pool holds about 2.5 dam³ (2,500 m³). A small municipal reservoir might hold 10–100 dam³.
US teaspoon – Frequently Asked Questions
How many milliliters is a US teaspoon?
One US teaspoon equals approximately 4.929 mL, typically rounded to 5 mL in medicine and 4.93 mL in precise culinary conversions. The metric teaspoon used in Australia and Canada is exactly 5 mL.
What is the difference between a US teaspoon and an imperial teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is about 4.93 mL; an imperial (UK) teaspoon is about 5.92 mL — approximately 20% larger. This difference can affect recipes crossing US and UK sources, particularly for spices and leavening agents.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
In the US system, 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon (3 × 4.929 mL = 14.787 mL). The metric equivalent is the same ratio: 3 × 5 mL = 15 mL tablespoon.
Is a medicine teaspoon the same as a cooking teaspoon?
Not exactly. Medicine dosing uses a standardized 5 mL teaspoon, while the US cooking teaspoon is about 4.93 mL. For medication accuracy, always use a calibrated oral syringe rather than a kitchen teaspoon, which can vary from 3 to 7 mL.
How many US teaspoons are in a cup?
There are 48 US teaspoons in one US cup: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons.
Cubic decameter – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cubic decameter?
A cubic decameter (dam³) is the volume of a cube with 10-meter sides, equal to 1,000 cubic meters or one million liters. It is equivalent to a megaliter (ML) and is used in hydrology and water resource management.
How many liters are in a cubic decameter?
One cubic decameter equals exactly 1,000,000 liters (one megaliter). Since 1 dam = 10 m, 1 dam³ = 10³ m³ = 1,000 m³ = 1,000,000 liters.
Is a cubic decameter the same as a megaliter?
Yes, 1 dam³ = 1 ML = 1,000,000 liters. Both terms are used in hydrology; megaliter is more common in water utility reporting, while cubic decameter appears in formal scientific notation.
Where is the cubic decameter used?
Cubic decameters are used in water resource engineering, reservoir capacity reporting, and irrigation system design. Countries with large-scale irrigation infrastructure — such as Australia, India, and the US — commonly report water allocations in megaliters (= dam³).
How does a cubic decameter compare to an Olympic swimming pool?
An Olympic swimming pool holds 2,500 m³ = 2.5 dam³. So one cubic decameter is 40% of an Olympic pool. Large water reservoirs are typically measured in hundreds to thousands of cubic decameters.
