What is the volume of a metric tablespoon?

A metric tablespoon is commonly standardized as 15 milliliters, used mainly for measuring small quantities in cooking and dosing.

What is a UK gill and when is it used?

The UK gill is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial pint, traditionally used in British pubs, historical recipes, and conversion contexts.

Can this tool be used for Australian tablespoons?

Since Australian tablespoons differ at 20 mL, this tool's conversion based on 15 mL metric tablespoons may not be as accurate for Australian measurements.

Examples

1 tablespoon (metric) equals 0.1055852392 gill (UK) [gi (UK)].
10 tablespoons (metric) equal 1.055852392 gill (UK) [gi (UK)].

Common Use Cases

Converting liquid ingredient measures in cooking from metric to traditional British units.
Translating historical or antique recipe quantities that use imperial volume units.
Measuring and documenting traditional spirit or beer servings in UK bar settings.
Adjusting pharmaceutical dosing from metric tablespoons to gill (UK) for legacy records.
Restoring archival documents or antique vessels showing volumes in imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm local tablespoon sizes as they can differ between countries (e.g., 20 mL in Australia).
Use this tool primarily for small volume conversions where metric to imperial precision is needed.
Be aware the UK gill is a traditional unit and might not suit all modern measurement needs.
Cross-check conversion results when applying to historical or archival materials.
Utilize rounded results carefully when performing practical cooking or medicinal measurements.

Limitations

Variations in metric tablespoon size by region may affect conversion accuracy.
The UK gill is not part of the international SI system and sees limited use today.
Precision can be limited by rounding and measurement tools in real-world applications.
