About Tablespoon (US)
The US tablespoon is 1/2 US fluid ounce (about 14.7868 ml). US recipes use tablespoons for cooking volumes.
About Liter
The liter is a metric unit equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). Science, global food labeling, and most countries’ everyday volumes use liters.
How to convert tablespoons (us) to liters
1 tablespoon (us) is equal to 0.01478676478125 liter:
1 tbsp = (0.01478676478125 L ÷ 1 L) l = 0.01478676478125 l
Each tablespoon (us) is defined as 0.01478676478125 L and each liter as 1 L, so one tbsp equals 0.01478676478125 ÷ 1 l = 0.01478676478125 l.
Let V(tbsp) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Tablespoon (US) (tbsp), and V(l) the value in Liter (l). Then:
V(l) = V(tbsp) × (0.01478676478125 / 1)
Equivalently, divide by how many tbsp fit into one l (liters per l divided by liters per tbsp):
V(l) = V(tbsp) ÷ 67.628045403686
Or: liter = tablespoon (us) ÷ 67.628045403686
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 tbsp to liter
20 tbsp = 20 tbsp × (0.01478676478125/1) l = 0.2957352956 l
20 tbsp = 20 tbsp ÷ 67.628045403686 = 0.2957352956 l
Example #2: Convert 50 tbsp to liter
50 tbsp = 50 tbsp × (0.01478676478125/1) l = 0.7393382391 l
50 tbsp = 50 tbsp ÷ 67.628045403686 = 0.7393382391 l
Summary
To convert Tablespoon (US) to Liter, multiply the value in tbsp by the ratio of liters per tbsp divided by liters per l. Equivalently: value_l = value_tbsp × (0.01478676478125 / 1). Numerically, 1 tbsp equals 0.01478676478125 l.
Relationship context
You are converting between US customary fluid / volume (Tablespoons (US)) and metric (SI) (Liters). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 1.478676e-2.
