What is the difference between the traditional and metric UK teaspoon?

The traditional UK teaspoon is approximately 4.736 mL defined as 1/6 of an imperial fluid ounce, while the metric teaspoon commonly used today is 5 mL. Both definitions are encountered in recipes and labeling.

Why convert from teaspoon (UK) to cubic millimeters?

Converting to cubic millimeters allows for precise volume measurement needed in scientific, engineering, or microfluidics contexts where microliter or smaller scales are important.

Can this tool be used for medicinal dosing?

It can be used for informal household liquid dose conversions, but for accuracy, dedicated dosing devices are recommended.
