About Converting Drams per Liter to Grams per Teaspoon
Dram per Liter and Gram per Teaspoon both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
grams per teaspoon = drams per liter × 0.00873328604396
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per liter equals 1.77184519531 base units, and 1 gram per teaspoon equals 202.884136211 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per liter-to-gram per teaspoon factor of 0.00873328604396.
Simple example
1 dr/L × 0.008733286044 = 0.008733286 g/tsp
1 dram per liter = 0.008733286 grams per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/L × 0.008733286044 = 8.733286044 g/tsp
1,000 drams per liter = 8.733286044 grams per teaspoon.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per teaspoon are in 1 dram per liter?
1 dram per liter equals 0.008733286 grams per teaspoon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per liter to gram per teaspoon?
Multiply the dram per liter value by 0.008733286044. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gram per teaspoon back to dram per liter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gram per teaspoon equals 114.5044368 drams per liter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per liter?
Dram per Liter (dr/L) is a unit of density.
What is a gram per teaspoon?
Gram per Teaspoon (g/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per liter to gram per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per liter and gram per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.008733286044 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
