About Dessertspoon (UK) (dsp (UK))
Definition
The UK dessertspoon is a unit of volume equal to approximately 11.839 milliliters, or 2 UK teaspoons.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK dsp ≈ 11.839 mL = 2 UK tsp ≈ 2/3 UK tbsp ≈ 0.417 UK fl oz.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 11.839. To UK teaspoons: multiply by 2. To US dessertspoons: multiply by 1.201.
Practical Applications
British and Indian recipes, traditional herbal medicine dosing, and Commonwealth cooking instructions.
Interesting Facts

Common Mistakes
Assuming all dessertspoons are the same size — UK (~12 mL), Australian (10 mL), and US (~10 mL) versions differ.
Educational Tips
A UK dessertspoon ≈ 12 mL, roughly double a UK teaspoon. In modern cooking, use a 10 mL metric spoon as a close substitute.
About Teraliter (TL)
Definition
The teraliter is a unit of volume equal to one trillion liters (10¹² L), or one cubic kilometer.
Mathematical Relationship
1 TL = 10¹² L = 10⁹ m³ = 1 km³ = 1,000 GL. One petaliter = 1,000 TL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10¹². To km³: 1 TL = 1 km³. To cubic miles: multiply by 0.2399.
Practical Applications
Expressing ocean currents flow rates, large ice sheet volumes, and geological water deposits.
Interesting Facts
Lake Baikal contains about 23.6 TL of water — the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world.
Common Mistakes
Confusing TL with the abbreviation for tablespoon. In volume, TL always means teraliter when using SI prefixes.
Educational Tips
1 TL = 1 km³. Think of a cube 1 km on each side — it is an immense volume, useful only for planetary-scale features.
