About these units
Tablespoon (US) (tbsp)
The US tablespoon is defined as 14.7868 mL, though commonly rounded to 15 mL in nutritional labeling and informal cooking contexts. In American cooking, the tablespoon is indispensable for measuring oils, spices, and small liquid quantities. It is also widely used in medicine for dosing liquid medications at home, though modern practice increasingly recommends milliliters for clarity. Its relationship—3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon and 16 tablespoons = 1 cup—allows American cooks to scale recipes easily, making it a cornerstone unit of the US culinary measurement system.
Hectoliter (hL)
A hectoliter, equal to 100 liters, is widely used in brewery and wine production, grain measurement, and hydrology. Many countries report beer production in hectoliters, and grain yields (such as wheat or barley) are sometimes expressed this way in agricultural economics. In hydrology, rainfall accumulation or reservoir inflows may be quantified in hectoliters when dealing with moderate-scale measurements. The hL bridges industrial-scale volume tracking with metric simplicity, keeping numbers relatively compact and readable.
