• US Teaspoon (0.004928922L)

  A teaspoon is an item of cutlery, a measuring instrument, of approximately 5ml, or a unit of measurement of volume (usually abbreviated tsp.). In the United States one teaspoon as a unit of culinary measure is 1⁄3 tablespoon, that is, exactly 4.92892159375 mL; it is exactly 1 1⁄3 US fluid drams, 1⁄6 US fl oz, 1⁄48 US cup, and 1⁄768 US liquid gallon and 77⁄256 or 0.30078125 cubic inches. For nutritional labeling and medicine in the US, the teaspoon is defined as precisely 5 milliliters (mL), the same as a metric teaspoon (below). Common cutlery teaspoons are not designed to contain a standard volume. In practice, they may hold anything between 2.5 mL and 6 mL of liquid, so such spoons are not suitable for precise measurements, in particular for medicine. Measuring spoons should be used instead; medicine dose measuring spoons (5 mL) should be used for medicine.
