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.

About Dekaliter (daL)
Definition
The dekaliter is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters, sometimes used in agriculture and wholesale trade.
Mathematical Relationship
1 daL = 10 L = 10,000 mL = 0.01 m³. There are 100 daL in one cubic meter.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10. To gallons (US): multiply by 2.64172. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.01.
Practical Applications
Grain measurement in agriculture, some wholesale liquid commodities, and European wine production quantities.
Interesting Facts
The dekaliter is one of the least commonly used SI-prefixed volume units, overshadowed by liters for small volumes and hectoliters for large ones.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'da' (deka, 10) with 'd' (deci, 0.1). A dekaliter is 10 L, while a deciliter is 0.1 L — a 100× difference.
Educational Tips
Think of a dekaliter as a large bucket or carboy holding 10 liters. The prefix 'deka' just means ten.
