A teaspoon (tsp.) is a small spoon that can be used to stir a cup of tea or coffee, or as a tool for measuring volume. [1] [2] The size of teaspoons ranges from about 2.5 to 7.3mL (about 0·088 to 0·257 imperial fluid ounce or 0·085 to 0·247 US fluid ounce).
The teaspoon, tablespoon, and cup are defined in terms of a fluid ounce as 1 ⁄ 6, 1 ⁄ 2, and 8 fluid ounces respectively. The fluid ounce derives its name originally from being the volume of one ounce avoirdupois of water, [21] but in the US it is defined as 1 ⁄ 128 of a US gallon. Consequently, a fluid ounce of water weighs about 1.041 ...
The table of imperial avoirdupois mass is the same as the United States table up to one pound, but above that point, the tables differ. The imperial system has a hundredweight, defined as eight stone of 14 lb each, or 112 lb ( 50.802 345 44 kg ), whereas a US hundredweight is 100 lb ( 45.359 237 kg ).
An imperial fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 20 of an imperial pint, 1 ⁄ 160 of an imperial gallon or exactly 28.4130625 mL. A US customary fluid ounce is 1 ⁄ 16 of a US liquid pint and 1 ⁄ 128 of a US liquid gallon or exactly 29.5735295625 mL, making it about 4.08% larger than the imperial fluid ounce. A US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.
1 / 2 UK salt spoon is an amount of space that can accommodate 15 British imperial minims ( 1 / 4 British imperial fluid drachm or 1 / 32 British imperial fluid ounce; about 14·41 US customary minims (0·24 US customary fluid dram or 0·03 US customary fluid ounce) or 0·89 millilitres) of liquid.
Similar in size to a soup spoon (intermediate between a teaspoon and a tablespoon) but with an oval rather than round bowl, it typically has a capacity around twice that of a teaspoon. By extension, the term "dessert spoon" is used as a cooking measure of volume, usually of 10 millilitres (mL), 1 ⁄ 3 US fl oz, or 1 ⁄ 4 imp fl oz.
