About Dessertspoon (US) (dsp (US))
Definition
The US dessertspoon is a unit of volume approximately double a teaspoon, equal to about 9.858 milliliters, or 2 US teaspoons.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US dsp ≈ 2 US tsp ≈ 2/3 US tbsp ≈ 9.858 mL.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 9.858. To teaspoons (US): multiply by 2. To tablespoons (US): multiply by 0.667.
Practical Applications
Occasionally used in British/Australian recipes that have been adapted for US kitchens, and in traditional herbal medicine dosing.
Interesting Facts
The dessertspoon is a standard part of a formal European place setting, positioned between the soup spoon and teaspoon.
Common Mistakes
Confusing with a tablespoon — a dessertspoon is about 2/3 of a tablespoon, not half.
Educational Tips
Think of the dessertspoon as 'double a teaspoon' — roughly 10 mL. It's the forgotten middle sibling of measuring spoons.
About Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
Definition
The cubic centimeter is a unit of volume equal to a cube with edges of one centimeter (10⁻⁶ m³), and is exactly equal to one milliliter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL = 1,000 mm³ = 0.001 L. One liter contains exactly 1,000 cm³.
Conversion Formula
To liters: divide by 1,000. To cubic inches: multiply by 0.0610237. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
Practical Applications
Engine displacement (e.g., 2,000 cc engine), medical syringe volumes, measuring cooking ingredients, and 3D printing volumes.
Interesting Facts
1 cm³ of water at 4 °C weighs exactly 1 gram — this relationship was the original basis for defining the gram.
Common Mistakes
Using 'cc' in formal scientific writing — cm³ or mL is preferred in SI contexts. Also, confusing cm³ with m³ (off by a factor of 10⁶).
Educational Tips
A sugar cube is roughly 1 cm³. Remember: 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 1 cc — three notations for the same volume.
