Measurement Conversion Charts

1/2 dram = 1/16 oz., or approx. 60 drops
1 dram = 1/8 oz., or approx. 120 drops
2 dram = 1/4 oz., or approx. 240 drops
4 dram = 1/2 oz., or approx. 480 drops
8 dram = 1 oz., or approx. 960 drops

1 oz = 2 tablespoons or 6 teaspoons or 30 ml/cc or

Another source says 1 oz.= 1120 drops
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons or 15ml

15 grams = 1/2 oz (.52905 oz)
15 grains = 1/4 teaspoon (solid) or 15 drops of fluid
60 grains = 1 teasp. or about 60 drops

To convert ounces to grams multiply # of ounces by 28.35
To convert grams to ounces you multiply # of grams by .03527
To convert grams to grains you multiply by 15.43
To convert grains to grams devide by 15.43

1 gal. = approx. 7.775 pounds (depending on the liquid)

U.S. to Metric
1/5 teaspoon = 1 milliliter
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
1 tablespoon = 15 ml
1/5 cup = 50 ml
1 cup = 240 ml
2 cups (1 pint) = 470 ml
4 cups (1 quart) = .95 liter
4 quarts (1 gal.) = 3.8 liters

Weight
1 fluid oz. = 30 milliters
1 fluid oz. = 28 grams
1 pound = 454 grams

Metric to U.S.
1 milliliters = 1/5 teaspoon
5 ml = 1 teaspoon
15 ml = 1 tablespoon
34 ml = 1 fluid oz.
100 ml = 3.4 fluid oz.
240 ml = 1 cup
1 liter = 34 fluid oz.
1 liter = 4.2 cups
1 liter = 2.1 pints
1 liter = 1.06 quarts
1 liter = .26 gallon

Weight
1 gram = .035 ounce
100 grams = 3.5 ounces
500 grams = 1.10 pounds
1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds
1 kilogram = 35 oz.

Cooking Measurment Equivalents
1 cup = 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons
3/4 cup = 12 tablespoons
2/3 cup = 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons
3/8 cup = 6 tablespoons
1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons
1/8 cup = 2 tablespoons
1/6 cup = 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
1/16 cup = 1 tablespoon
1 pint =2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

Droppers come in various sizes with various size openings.
A drop is usually exactly the same amount of liquid no matter
what size the dropper, but essential oils are both very, very
thin and lightweight and very, very thick and heavy weight,
and so thick Patchouli weighs more in less space than thin Tea
Tree.
But generally:
1 dropper holds 20 drops which is 1 milliliter
1/2 dropper yeilds 10 drops which is 0.5 ml.

conversion tool January 28, 2005 12:22 AM

A handy conversion tool is to make the enquiry at www.google.com.

For example, typing "1 cup = ? tablespoon" will return "1 US cup = 16 tablespoon".

Thank you Megan - how on earth did I miss out on that one?!!! It makes things SO much easier as all the sweet people who send me recipes use the U.S.-system and I always have a h**l of a time trying to figure the right metric amount.  [report anonymous abuse]  [ accepted]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
