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

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 Hectoliter (hL)
Definition
The hectoliter is a metric unit of volume equal to 100 liters, commonly used in the beer and wine industries.
Mathematical Relationship
1 hL = 100 L = 0.1 m³ = 10 daL = 100,000 mL. One cubic meter = 10 hL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 100. To gallons (US): multiply by 26.4172. To barrels (US beer): multiply by 0.8523.
Practical Applications
Brewery production volumes, winery output, agricultural crop yields (grain in hL/hectare), and bulk liquid shipping.
Interesting Facts
Germany produces about 80 million hectoliters of beer annually. A standard US beer barrel equals about 1.17 hL.
Common Mistakes
Confusing hL with mL — they differ by a factor of 100,000. Always check prefix meanings carefully.
Educational Tips
A hectoliter = 100 liters. Picture a large barrel or about 26 gallons. Breweries measure output in thousands of hectoliters.
