About these units
Dekaliter (daL)
A dekaliter equals 10 liters and is used primarily in agricultural planning, winery operations, and breweries. Wine production volumes, for instance, are sometimes recorded in dekaliters because it provides a manageable number between the hectoliter and liter scales. In beverage industries, daL simplifies recordkeeping by avoiding excessively large numbers when cataloging batches or tank capacities. Though uncommon in everyday use, the dekaliter plays a practical role in sectors dealing with medium-scale liquid quantities.
Teaspoon (UK) (tsp (UK))
The UK teaspoon is defined as 5 milliliters, a value adopted in modern culinary and medical standards. Historically, however, its size varied considerably, often ranging from 4 to 6 mL depending on household spoons, region, or era. The modern 5 mL standardization brought consistency to recipes, pharmaceutical dosing instructions, and food labeling. Because teaspoons were once everyday household items rather than calibrated instruments, the move toward fixed metric equivalents significantly improved recipe reliability and medical accuracy. Despite the shift to SI units, the teaspoon endures as a culturally intuitive volume measure used in cooking and oral medication dosing, tying contemporary practice to long-standing domestic traditions.
