About these units
Teaspoon (Metric) (tsp (m))
The metric teaspoon is universally fixed at 5 mL, offering complete consistency across countries that use metric culinary measurements. This simplicity is a major advantage over historical teaspoon variations. In metric recipe writing—especially in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe—teaspoons serve as standardized micro-measures that are easy to convert and scale. Its widespread adoption demonstrates the advantages of aligning traditional kitchen practices with the predictable structure of the metric system.
Board Foot (board foot)
A board foot is a unit of volume used in lumber, defined as a board measuring 1 foot long × 1 foot wide × 1 inch thick, equal to 144 cubic inches, or about 2.36 liters. The unit reflects a material-centric approach to volume: rather than measuring empty space, the board foot measures solid wood content, crucial for pricing logs, boards, and woodworking materials. Forestry operations, sawmills, and lumber yards rely heavily on board-feet calculations to estimate yields from logs, determine pricing, and evaluate timber resources. The unit persists due to deep integration with North American construction and carpentry practices.
