To convert from Teaspoon (tsp) to Cubic Centimeter (cm3), use the following formula:
With is the ratio between the base units Liter (l) and Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).
Let's convert 5 Teaspoon (tsp) to Cubic Centimeter (cm3).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Teaspoon (tsp) is equal to Cubic Centimeter (cm3).

A teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of volume, but its exact measurement varies by system.
In both systems, it is standard that three teaspoons equal one tablespoon.
For consistency in nutritional labeling, recipes, and medicine, a teaspoon is legally defined in the United States as exactly 5 milliliters (mL).
While the precise scientific conversion is 4.92892 mL, the simpler 5 mL standard is widely adopted for its convenience.
No, they are not. It's crucial to distinguish between a measuring teaspoon and a cutlery teaspoon (the one you eat with). For accurate kitchen conversions, only a measuring spoon will do.
For accuracy in all your baking measurements, always use a proper set of measuring spoons.
The conversion from teaspoons to tablespoons is a simple and memorable 3-to-1 ratio.
There are precisely three teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
This fundamental relationship (3 tsp = 1 tbsp) is a cornerstone of any recipe measurement, consistent across both US customary and imperial systems.
A cubic centimeter (cm3) is a fundamental unit of volume in the metric system.
It is equal to one-thousandth of a liter. The plural form is cubic centimeters.
A cubic centimeter is exactly equal to one milliliter (1 cm3 = 1 mL).
Because they are identical, converting between cm3 and mL is a simple one-to-one conversion.
This crucial equivalence is widely used in science, particularly in chemistry and medicine, as well as in everyday tasks like cooking.
The abbreviation "cc" is a common substitute for cubic centimeters, especially in the medical and automotive fields.
In Medicine: A cc is used to measure dosages of liquid medicine for injections. For example, a syringe labeled "10cc" can hold 10 cubic centimeters (or 10 mL) of fluid.
In Automotive: In the car world, cc refers to an engine's displacement—the total volume of all its cylinders. A "1500cc engine" has cylinders that can displace 1500 cubic centimeters of air and fuel.
To visualize the volume of a single cubic centimeter, imagine a small cube with each side measuring exactly 1 centimeter in length, width, and height.
This is about the size of a standard sugar cube or a small die used in board games.
Understanding this physical size helps in estimating volumes and appreciating the unit's scale in practical situations.
