| Convert from Tablespoon [metric] to hogshead [UK] |
Unit Definition (Tablespoon [metric]) The tablespoon is a unit of volume used in food recipes. Under the metric system the tablespoon has become more or less standardized at 15 milliliters in Britain, Canada, and New Zealand, 20 milliliters in Australia. The metric tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons (4 in Australia). Unit Definition (hogshead [UK]) The hogshead [UK] is a traditional unit of volume for liquids. Originally the hogshead varied with the contents, often being equal to 48 gallons of ale; 54 of beer; 60 of cider; 63 of oil, honey, or wine; or 100 of molasses. In the British imperial system, the hogshead equals 1/2 butt, or 52.5 imperial gallons (8.429 cubic feet, or 238.67 liters). The British imperial and American hogsheads are almost exactly the same size. No one seems to know for sure how this unit got its unusual name.
