To convert from Teaspoon (tsp) to Cubic Decimeter (dm3), 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 Decimeter (dm3).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Teaspoon (tsp) is equal to Cubic Decimeter (dm3).

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 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.
