The tablespoon is a traditional measure of volume used for measuring cooking ingredients. There are different definitions of the exact volume for different countries.
The traditional US tablespoon is one half fluid ounce, or 14.787mL
The traditional UK tablespoon varies, but is between 1/2 and 5/8 imperial ounce (14-18 mL)
Now the tablespoon is officially defined in most countries as exactly 15mL. In Australia, it is 20mL, and is divided into four teaspoons rather than three.
In the US, quarter-pound sticks of butter are marked off into eight tablespoons. One of these tablespoons is 14.175 grams.
