About these units
Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US))
The US teaspoon equals 4.92892 mL, though rounded to 5 mL in most practical applications. Before standardization, teaspoon sizes varied widely across households and manufacturers. With the rise of packaged foods, pharmaceuticals, and industrial recipes, the US standardized teaspoon values brought consistency to cooking and medicine. Today, the teaspoon remains the most common household unit for measuring small amounts—especially spices, extracts, and medicines.
Dekastere (dekastere)
The dekastere, equal to 10 steres or 10 cubic meters, is primarily used in forestry for measuring stacked firewood or lumber. In European countries like France, where the stere is still recognized, the dekastere is practical for describing commercial quantities of timber. Many forestry management plans and commercial firewood suppliers use the dekastere to track production and sales. Its size strikes a balance between comprehensibility and practicality, making it useful for both commercial and personal-scale timber transactions.
