Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 130 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.

The same converter answers this pair however it is written: millilitres to US tablespoons is the British spelling of the same units — the metre and the litre are spelled that way outside the United States and the quantity does not change.

How do you convert milliliters to US tablespoons? The converter and the working

  1. 1.Take the measurement in milliliters.
  2. 2.Multiply by 0.067628045 — that is how many US tablespoons fit in one milliliter.
  3. 3.To go back the other way, divide by 0.067628045, or multiply by 14.786765.

The Australian tablespoon is a third bigger

A US tablespoon is 14.7867648 ml and a metric tablespoon is 15 ml, which is near enough for anything. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml — four teaspoons rather than three — and that one is not near enough for anything, least of all baking powder.

NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C — general tables of units of measurement

What is a milliliter?

One thousandth of a liter, and exactly one cubic centimeter.

What is a US tablespoon?

Three teaspoons, about 14.79 ml. Australia is the outlier at four teaspoons to the tablespoon.

How many US tablespoons are in a milliliter?

One milliliter is 0.067628045 US tablespoons. Going the other way, one US tablespoon is 14.786765 milliliters. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every volume unit here

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a milliliter.
