A cubic decimeter (dm3) is a unit used to measure volume in the metric system.
It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are one decimeter (10 cm) long.
Crucially, one cubic decimeter is precisely equal to one liter (L).
Yes, they are the same!
The most important thing to remember is that one cubic decimeter is precisely equal to 1 liter (1 dm3 = 1 L). This simple one-to-one relationship makes it a handy unit for measuring liquids.
Imagine a cube that is 10 cm tall, 10 cm wide, and 10 cm long—it holds exactly one liter of water.
This link between volume (from length) and capacity (liters) is a core principle of the metric system.
The cubic decimeter is a perfect "bridge" between smaller and larger volume measurements. Here's how it connects:
From dm3 to Cubic Centimeters (cm3): Since 1 decimeter = 10 centimeters, a cubic decimeter contains 10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3).
From dm3 to Milliliters (mL): Because 1 cm3 is identical to 1 milliliter (mL), it means that 1 dm3 also equals 1,000 mL.
From dm3 to Cubic Meters (m3): To measure larger spaces, you need 1,000 cubic decimeters to make one cubic meter (1 m3).
While you might not hear "cubic decimeter" in everyday conversation, it is essential in many scientific and technical fields:
Chemistry: Solution concentrations are often measured in moles per cubic decimeter (mol/dm3).
Engineering: The size of a car engine (its displacement) is measured in liters, which is a direct measurement of cubic decimeters.
Manufacturing: It's used for precise calculations where accuracy is critical.
A Tesked (tsk), the Swedish word for "teaspoon," is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It is a standard measurement in cooking, especially in Swedish recipes, and is officially defined as being equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
The plural form is Teskedar.
For a quick reference, here are the most important conversions:
One Tesked (tsk) is precisely equal to 5 milliliters (ml).
Since one tsk is 0.005 liters and there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, the conversion is straightforward (0.005 × 1000 = 5).
This makes the Tesked a practical unit for measuring small volumes, particularly in cooking or medicine, where milliliter measurements are standard.
In the metric system, a standard tablespoon (or "Matsked" in Swedish) is defined as 15 ml.
Therefore, three Teskedar are equal to one tablespoon (3 × 5 ml = 15 ml).
This simple 3-to-1 ratio is a fundamental and easy-to-remember conversion for anyone working with metric recipes, allowing for quick scaling and adjustment of ingredients.
The term "Tesked" literally translates from Swedish to "teaspoon" (Te = tea, sked = spoon).
In Sweden and many other countries that use the metric system for culinary measurements, the standard volume for a teaspoon is officially defined as 5 ml.
Because of this, the "Tesked" unit directly corresponds to the everyday metric teaspoon used in recipes worldwide.
The plural form, Teskedar, means "teaspoons."
