For all Volume converters, choose units using the From/To dropdowns above.
A tablespoon (often abbreviated as Tbs or tbsp) is a common unit of volume used in cooking and baking.
In the US customary system, one tablespoon is equal to 0.5 fluid ounces (fl oz).
The most essential kitchen conversion to remember is that one tablespoon is equal to exactly three teaspoons.
This simple formula (1 tbsp = 3 tsp) is crucial for getting your recipes right, especially when you don't have a complete set of measuring spoons.
When following recipes from around the world or using a kitchen scale, you'll need the metric conversion.
A standard United States tablespoon is equal to approximately 15 milliliters (ml).
While the precise measurement is 14.787 ml, it is universally rounded to 15 ml for culinary convenience.
It's important to know that a tablespoon's volume can vary by country, which can affect your recipe. Always check where your recipe comes from!
Here's a quick comparison:
A cubic inch (in3) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
One cubic inch is equal to about 0.554 fluid ounces (fl oz).
One cubic inch is precisely equal to 16.387064 cubic centimeters (cm3).
This exact conversion is legally defined and crucial in fields like engineering, science, and international manufacturing, where precision is paramount.
It enables the direct and accurate translation of volume measurements between the imperial system (common in the US) and the metric system, which is used worldwide.
The cubic inch is famously used to measure an engine's displacement (often abbreviated as CID), especially in American automotive history.
Engine displacement refers to the total volume of air and fuel that an engine's cylinders can move through in one cycle.
A higher CID, such as in the classic "454" (454 in3) V8 engines, typically meant more potential for power and torque, defining the era of American muscle cars.
To visualize a cubic inch, think of a small, common object.
A standard six-sided die used in board games is a perfect example, having a volume very close to one cubic inch.
A small sugar cube or a standard marble also provides a good real-world approximation of this unit of volume, making it easier to conceptualize its size beyond abstract numbers.
