Convert Tablespoon (US) to Liter
Tablespoon (US)
The US tablespoon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 3 teaspoons or 1/16th of a US cup. One US tablespoon is approximately 14.787 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.
The US tablespoon has its origins in the imperial system and was historically used in both the British and American systems for measuring small volumes in the kitchen. In the U.S. customary system, the tablespoon was standardized to be 3 teaspoons, and its volume was defined as 14.787 milliliters. This standardization helped provide consistency in recipes and cooking instructions. Despite the global transition to the metric system, the US tablespoon continues to be widely used in the United States, particularly in culinary applications for measuring ingredients.
Liter
The liter (L) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long, which is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or 0.001 cubic meters (m³). One liter is also equivalent to 1,000 milliliters (mL).
The liter was originally introduced in France in the 18th century as part of the metric system during the French Revolution. It was based on the volume of 1 kilogram of water at the temperature of its maximum density, which is about 4°C. Over time, the liter became a standard unit for measuring liquids and volumes in many countries around the world. Although the liter is not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is accepted for use with the SI, and it remains widely used internationally for measuring everyday volumes, such as beverages, fuel, and cooking ingredients.
