Volumes Conversion

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 ml = .5 fl. oz.

1 fl. oz. = 29.6 ml. -2 tablespoons

1 cup = 8 fl. oz. - 16 tablespoons

1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fl. oz.

1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fl. oz.

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 16 cups = 8 pints = 128 fl. oz.


Wallstone Coverage

Drywall Stone (including fieldstone) 1 ton of stone can make a wall 1 foot tall (x) 12 - 15 feet long
