| Convert from board foot to Tablespoon [metric] |
Unit Definition (board foot) The board foot is a unit of volume used for measuring lumber. One board foot is the volume of a one-foot length of a "standard board" twelve inches wide by one inch thick. Thus a board foot equals 144 cubic inches, or 1/12 of a cubic foot, or approximately 2.360 liters. If lumber is stacked neatly, we can compute the number of board feet from the dimensions of the stack, no matter how wide or thick the boards are. For example, a stack of two-by-fours 4 ft high, 4 ft wide, and 8 ft long contains 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet, equivalent to 128 x 12 = 1536 board feet. The symbol fbm is an abbreviation for "foot, board measure." 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).
