Fluid ounces and tablespoons

Fluid ounces and tablespoons are both units of volume. They are the most common kitchen measuring units used by chefs, home cooks, and cooking enthusiasts to measure liquid ingredients.

A liquid ounce is abbreviated as fl oz or oz fl, a tablespoon is most commonly abbreviated T, tbsp, tbs, or rare tblspn.

A tablespoon is mainly used for serving, it is the largest spoon used for eating in some parts of Canada.

1 US tablespoon = 3 teaspoons, 1/16 cup, ½ fluid ounces, 0.03 US liquid pint, 0.000014787 cubic meters, or 14.8 milliliters.

1 metric tablespoon equals 15 ml.

1 Imperial tablespoon = 3 imperial teaspoons, 0.06 Imperial cup, 0.625 imperial fluid ounces, 0.03 Imperial pint, or 18 milliliters.

Australian tablespoon has a different volume from the ones mentioned above.

1 Australian tablespoon = ⅔ fl oz, 4 teaspoons, and 20 ml.

A fluid ounce (aka regular ounce) is a United States customary and Imperial unit of volume. So US liquid ounce is different from the Imperial fluid ounce.

How much is a fluid ounce?
