Tablespoons: A Unit of Volume

Tablespoons are a unit of volume that are used to measure small amounts of liquids, such as water, milk, oil, vinegar, etc. They are also used to measure some dry ingredients, such as sugar, salt, flour, etc. They are different from teaspoons, which are a smaller unit of volume. Tablespoons are also different from fluid ounces, which are a larger unit of volume. Tablespoons are also different from barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), which is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

Definition of Tablespoons

A tablespoon is defined as 15 milliliters (ml) in the metric system of measurement. It is equivalent to 0.5 fluid ounces or 0.0625 cups in the US customary system. A tablespoon is also equal to 0.053 imperial cups or 0.0042 imperial gallons in the imperial system.

History of Tablespoons

The origin of the term tablespoon as a unit of measure is uncertain, but it may have derived from the French word cuiller à soupe, which means a spoon for soup. Spoons have been used since ancient times to eat and serve various foods, especially liquids and soft solids. The size and shape of spoons varied depending on the type and quantity of the foods, the availability of materials, and the customs of different regions and countries.

The use of tablespoons as a unit of measure dates back to the medieval times, when the European system of measurement was established. The standard size of these spoons was about 15 ml, which was also the size of a scruple, a unit of measure for apothecaries and pharmacists. The tablespoon was convenient for measuring and dispensing small amounts of liquids and powders for medicinal purposes.

The use of tablespoons as a unit of measure continued until the 20th century, when the metric system of measurement was adopted in most countries. The tablespoon was gradually replaced by units such as milliliters, grams, etc. However, some countries and regions still use tablespoons for certain types of liquids and dry ingredients, especially in cooking and baking.

How to Convert Tablespoons

To convert tablespoons to other units of volume, one can use the following formulas:

• To convert tablespoons to milliliters: multiply by 15
• To convert tablespoons to fluid ounces: multiply by 0.5
• To convert tablespoons to cups: multiply by 0.0625
• To convert tablespoons to gallons (US): multiply by 0.00390625
• To convert tablespoons to gallons (UK): multiply by 0.0042
• To convert tablespoons to BOE: divide by 23876

Where Tablespoons are Used

Tablespoons are mainly used in cooking and baking in some countries and regions that still use the US customary system or the imperial system of measurement. They are often used for measuring and adding liquids such as water, milk, oil, vinegar, etc., and dry ingredients such as sugar, salt, flour, etc., to recipes.

In some countries that use the metric system of measurement, such as Canada and Australia, tablespoons are sometimes used as an informal or approximate unit of volume for certain types of liquids and dry ingredients. For example, in Canada, maple syrup is sometimes sold by the tablespoon, which is equivalent to about 15 ml or 0.015 liters.

In some countries that have their own traditional units of volume based on spoons or similar utensils, such as India and China, tablespoons are not commonly used or recognized. Instead, they use units such as chhatak (about 59 ml), chammach (about 10 ml), or shao (about 15 ml).

Example Conversions of Tablespoons to Other Units

Here are some examples of converting tablespoons to other units of volume:

• 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters
• 2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce
• 3 tablespoons = 0.1875 cups
• 4 tablespoons = 0.015625 gallons (US)
• 5 tablespoons = 0.021 gallons (UK)
• 6 tablespoons = 0.000252 BOE
• 7 tablespoons = 0.000294 BOE

Liquid Barrels - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Liquid Barrel

A liquid barrel (symbol bbl or bl) is a unit of volume that corresponds to the volume of a cylindrical container with a standard size and shape. The exact definition of a liquid barrel varies depending on what is being measured and where. In general, a liquid barrel is equivalent to 31.5 US gallons (26 imperial gallons or 119 liters) or half a hogshead. However, there are different types of liquid barrels for different liquids, such as oil, beer, wine, and water.

One liquid barrel is equal to 0.119 cubic meters, 7276.5 cubic inches, or 0.0298 cubic yards.

History of the Liquid Barrel

The liquid barrel is derived from the barrel, which is a wooden container that was used for storing and transporting various goods since ancient times. The barrel was originally made from wooden staves held together by metal hoops, and had a standard size and shape that varied by region and product. The word barrel comes from the Latin barra, meaning bar or rod.

The liquid barrel was first used as a unit of volume for measuring liquids, such as wine, beer, oil, water, and vinegar. The liquid barrel was also used for measuring some solids, such as salt, flour, and fish. The liquid barrel was adopted as a standard unit of measure in many countries that use the imperial system or the US customary system, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia.

How to Convert Liquid Barrels

To convert liquid barrels to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert liquid barrels to cubic meters, multiply by 0.119.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 0.119 = 0.238 m3
• To convert liquid barrels to cubic inches, multiply by 7276.5.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 7276.5 = 14553 in3
• To convert liquid barrels to milliliters or liters, multiply by 119000 or 119 respectively.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 119000 = 238000 mL or 2 bbl × 119 = 238 L
• To convert liquid barrels to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 31.5.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 31.5 = 63 gal
• To convert liquid barrels to bushels (US), multiply by 3.705.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 3.705 = 7.41 bu
• To convert liquid barrels to kiloliters, multiply by 0.119.
  • Example: 2 bbl × 0.119 = 0.238 kL

To convert other units of volume to liquid barrels, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic meters to liquid barrels, divide by 0.119.
  • Example: 0.238 m3 ÷ 0.119 = 2 bbl
• To convert cubic inches to liquid barrels, divide by 7276.5.
  • Example: 14553 in3 ÷ 7276.5 = 2 bbl
• To convert milliliters or liters to liquid barrels, divide by 119000 or 119 respectively.
  • Example: 238000 mL ÷ 119000 = 2 bbl or 238 L ÷ 119 = 2 bbl
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to liquid barrels, divide by 31.5.
  • Example: 63 gal ÷ 31.5 = 2 bbl
• To convert bushels (US) to liquid barrels, divide by 3.705.
  • Example: 7.41 bu ÷ 3.705 = 2 bbl
• To convert kiloliters to liquid barrels, divide by 0.119.
  • Example: 0.238 kL ÷ 0.119 = 2 bbl

Where Liquid Barrels are Used
