What Is This Tool?
This tool enables users to convert volume quantities from the UK teaspoon, a traditional small culinary measure, to the cor, an ancient large dry volume unit used in Biblical times. It helps bridge modern measurements with historical units for various analytical purposes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in teaspoons (UK) you wish to convert.
-
Select the UK teaspoon as your starting unit and the cor (Biblical) as the target unit.
-
Submit the values to receive the converted quantity in cor (Biblical).
Key Features
-
Converts from traditional UK teaspoon volumes to Biblical cor units accurately based on established conversion rates.
-
Supports interpretation of ancient measurement systems by linking modern small unit volumes with large Biblical dry volume quantities.
-
Easy-to-use interface designed for users analyzing culinary, nutritional, archaeological, or historical volume data.
Examples
-
10 teaspoons (UK) converts to approximately 0.000269063 cor (Biblical).
-
1000 teaspoons (UK) converts to approximately 0.0269063 cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small culinary ingredient quantities and relating them to large ancient storage units.
-
Translating Biblical volume measures to modern equivalents for scriptural study and archaeological research.
-
Comparative analysis of ancient economy data and agricultural storage capacities using standardized volume conversions.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Be aware of the two common definitions of the UK teaspoon and choose the appropriate one for your context.
-
Use this conversion primarily for historical or analytical purposes due to the large size difference between units.
-
Confirm the estimated volume range of a cor if precise archaeological or historical data is critical.
Limitations
-
The cor is extremely large compared to the teaspoon, leading to very small decimal results that may be unwieldy for everyday volume use.
-
Historical estimates of the cor volume vary, so exact conversions may differ depending on the source.
-
Different interpretations of the UK teaspoon volume (traditional vs metric) can introduce minor conversion variances.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the conversion result often a very small number?
-
Because the cor is a very large unit compared to the teaspoon, converting small teaspoon volumes results in very small decimal values.
-
Are there different types of UK teaspoons used for conversion?
-
Yes, traditionally the UK teaspoon was defined as 1/6 of an imperial fluid ounce (~4.736 mL), but modern use often applies a 5 mL metric teaspoon.
-
What is the main use of converting teaspoons (UK) to cor (Biblical)?
-
It is mainly used to interpret ancient Biblical quantities and archaeological data by converting small modern culinary measures into large Biblical volume units.
Key Terminology
-
Teaspoon (UK)
-
A traditional UK culinary volume unit, defined historically as 1/6 of an imperial fluid ounce, commonly used for small ingredient quantities.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, approximately 220 liters, used in historical and scriptural contexts.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The fixed multiplier used to convert one unit of volume (teaspoon UK) to another (cor Biblical), specifically 1 teaspoon (UK) equals 0.0000269063 cor.
