Liquids tablespoon to grams

Use this converter to turn tablespoons of liquids into grams. Because liquids have different densities, the grams change with the item β€” for example, water about 15 g, milk about 15.45 g, vegetable oil about 13.8 g. Choose one and enter the tablespoons.

A tablespoon measures volume, but liquids weigh different grams because their density differs. For example: water about 15 g, milk about 15.45 g, vegetable oil about 13.8 g.

Pick the exact item to get an accurate weight without a kitchen scale, see the formula, and read a full conversion table for common liquids.

The Math

The formula for liquids tablespoons to grams

Grams = tablespoons Γ— 15 Γ— density. Each of the liquids has its own density, so the same spoon gives different grams. Move the sliders to see the effect.

Frequently Asked

Common questions about liquids tablespoon to grams conversion

It depends which one, because liquids vary in density. For example: water about 15 g, milk about 15.45 g, vegetable oil about 13.8 g. Pick the exact item in the calculator for an accurate weight.

Multiply the tablespoons by 15 ml, then by the density in grams per millilitre. Grams = tablespoons Γ— 15 Γ— density. The tool holds the density for each one.

A tablespoon measures volume, but liquids pack different mass into that 15 ml. Denser ones weigh more; airy ones weigh less. That difference is density.

Honey is among the heaviest at about 21.3 grams per tablespoon, while vegetable oil is lighter at about 13.8 grams.

Double the one-tablespoon weight. For example, two tablespoons of water is about 30 grams.

Use a level tablespoon for these values. Heaping spoons hold more and are harder to repeat. For baking, weigh liquids on a kitchen scale.

A teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon, so divide the tablespoon weight by three for each item.

No. Because density differs, a single value would be wrong for most. Select the specific item so the grams match.
