Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember the cor is a dry volume unit while the teaspoon (US) is typically for liquids; apply conversions carefully.
-
Use this converter to handle very small decimal values accurately due to significant differences in scale.
-
Consult multiple sources when interpreting conversions involving ancient units due to variability in definitions.
-
Apply the tool for educational and research purposes where approximate values are sufficient.
Limitations
-
The cor's exact volume varies across sources and is often an approximation.
-
Differences between dry and liquid volume units mean conversions might not apply directly in all contexts.
-
Large scale differences can result in extremely small decimal conversions that require careful handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the US teaspoon volume in milliliters?
-
A US teaspoon equals exactly 4.92892159375 milliliters.
-
What does the cor (Biblical) represent?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit about 220 liters, commonly used to measure grain or oil.
-
Can I use this converter to convert liquid volumes directly to dry volumes?
-
Since the teaspoon is for liquid volumes and the cor is a dry volume, caution is advised when directly converting between these.
