Teaspoons to Drops Converter
Definition
A teaspoon is a volume unit equal to 5 milliliters or approximately 1/6 fluid ounce in the US system. A drop is a non-standardized unit that varies by liquid viscosity and dispensing device, but is typically considered to be approximately 1/60 to 1/75 of a teaspoon—about 0.05 to 0.06 milliliters. For medical and pharmaceutical purposes, 1 teaspoon is often standardized to 60 drops.
History
The teaspoon as a measuring unit dates back to the 18th century, eventually being standardized in the early 20th century. The drop (gutta in Latin, abbreviated as "gtt") has been used in medicine and pharmacy since ancient times. Its volume varied widely until efforts to standardize it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, standardized droppers and pipettes provide more consistent measurements, though variations still exist based on the liquid properties and dispensing device.
