Calculate Liters in a Measuring Spoon

Calculator how many milliliters, centiliters, deciliters or liters fit in a measuring spoon.

Such is used, for example, to measure coffee powder. Mathematically, a measuring spoon is a rounded cone. The formula for calculating the volume is complicated.

Example: a measuring spoon has a top diameter of 4 cm. The lower diameter, where the sloping walls meet the bend, is 1.5 cm. The height without the round base (see funnel) is 2.5 cm. This measuring spoon holds 16.3 milliliters when it is full.

Please enter the upper and lower diameter and the height of the funnel. The content in milliliters (ml), centiliters (cl), deciliters (dl) and in liters (l) is calculated. If the measuring spoon is not completely full, the diameter must be measured at the fill level.

This coffee measuring spoon has a top diameter of 3.7 cm, a bottom diameter of 2 cm and a funnel height of 2.5 cm. Almost 18 milliliters fit in here, more if heaped up.

A measuring spoon is a tool for measuring small amounts of fine-grained substances. It is less accurate than a scale, but faster to use. In addition to coffee and tea, it is also sometimes used for spices. Often, a regular spoon is used instead of a measuring spoon, which is even less accurate. For spoons, a level teaspoon can be assumed to contain 2.5 to 5 milliliters, and a level tablespoon to contain 7.5 to 15 milliliters.
The measuring spoon shown above contains approximately 5 grams of coffee powder if filled to the level. Measuring spoons can also have other sizes, a common size is for 10 grams of a certain powder or grains. If it is used for other substances than the intended, the volume remains, but the mass can be different.
