Mathematical Relationship
1 UK tsp ≈ 5.919 mL. Approximately 1.2 times the US teaspoon (4.929 mL).
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 5.919. To US teaspoons: multiply by 1.201. To metric teaspoons: multiply by 1.184.
Practical Applications
Traditional British recipes, Commonwealth cooking, and older pharmaceutical dosing in the UK.
Interesting Facts

About Barrel (Oil) (bbl (oil))
Definition
The oil barrel is a unit of volume equal to 42 US gallons (approximately 158.987 liters), the standard for measuring crude oil and petroleum products.
Mathematical Relationship
1 oil barrel = 42 US gal = 158.987 L = 34.97 UK gal = 5,376 US fl oz.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 158.987. To US gallons: multiply by 42. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.158987.
Practical Applications
Crude oil trading and pricing, refinery throughput, national oil production statistics, and petroleum reserve reporting.
Interesting Facts
Global oil consumption is about 100 million barrels per day. Oil is no longer actually shipped in barrels — the unit persists purely as a standard of measurement.
Common Mistakes
Confusing the oil barrel (42 gal) with the US liquid barrel (31.5 gal). Always use 'bbl (oil)' or specify the type.
Educational Tips
Oil is priced per barrel (~42 gallons). When you see '$70/barrel,' that means about $1.67/gallon before refining and distribution costs.
