Convert US tablespoons to Cubic millimetres

1 US tablespoon is 14,786.76 mm³. One US tablespoon is exactly 14786.7647812 cubic millimetres.

One US tablespoon is 14786.765 cubic millimetres. To convert US tablespoons to cubic millimetres, multiply by 14786.765; to go the other way, divide by 14786.765 or multiply by 6.7628 × 10^-5. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 130. Three teaspoons, about 14.79 ml.

What is a US tablespoon?

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

What is a cubic millimetre?

A millionth of a litre, because the millimetre is a thousandth of a metre and volume cubes the factor. A microlitre by another name, and the unit injection-moulding shot sizes are quoted in.

How many cubic millimetres are in a US tablespoon?

One US tablespoon is 14786.765 cubic millimetres. Going the other way, one cubic millimetre is 6.7628 × 10^-5 US tablespoons. 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.

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 US tablespoon.
