What is a US tablespoon used for?

A US tablespoon is commonly used for measuring small culinary volumes like ingredients, sauces, and dressings in cooking and recipes.

What does a ton register measure?

A ton register measures ship internal volume, historically representing 100 cubic feet, used in maritime commerce and ship design.

Why are conversion values so small between tablespoon and ton register?

Because the tablespoon measures very small volumes, and the ton register covers very large volumes, resulting in small decimal conversions.

Is ton register still used today?

Ton register has mostly been replaced by modern gross/net tonnage metrics since the 1969 Tonnage Convention but remains in historical contexts.

Can I use this converter for scientific volume measurements?

This tool is intended for general conversion and understanding rather than precise scientific or regulatory volume calculations.

Common Use Cases

Measuring small culinary ingredient volumes and relating them to historic maritime units
Assessing internal ship volume expressed in register tonnage for archival maritime documents
Calculating port fees or canal dues where ton register measurement is referenced
Estimating enclosed cargo-hold volumes in older ship designs
Comparing cooking measurement units with large-scale volume units used in shipping

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you input volume values accurately for best conversion results
Use the tool primarily for understanding volume relations rather than precise scientific calculations
Remember the ton register is largely historical and may not apply for modern regulatory purposes
Validate volumes when working with maritime documentation referencing register tons
Be aware that tablespoon measures very small volumes compared to ton registers, so results are usually very small decimal values

Limitations

Tablespoon (US) is designed for small-scale volume and not for scientific precision
Ton register is a historic maritime measurement mostly replaced by newer tonnage standards
Conversion results involve very small decimals due to large unit scale differences
Not suitable for current maritime regulatory or scientific volume assessments
Accuracy depends on historical definitions rather than modern volumetric conventions
