Incorrect tablespoon conversion

[barbmc]

Why does this conversion output 44 g?

var qtyunit = '3 tb';
qtyunit = Qty(qtyunit);
qtyunit = qtyunit.to('ml').toPrec('ml').toString();

Could you check your example? I just tried and it outputted 44ml as expected:

Qty('3tbs').to('ml').toPrec('ml').toString(); // => "44 ml"

There's also a typo in your example: tb instead of tbs.

There's 15mls in a tablespoon isn't there

According to several references, there's 14.7867648 ml in a tb (so approximately 44ml for three tb):

Qty('1 tbs').to('ml').toString(); // => "14.7867648 ml"
Qty('3 tbs').to('ml').toString(); // => "44.3602944 ml"

Do you have any issue when using it?

Whatever it be, I've added tb as tablespoon alias.

[barbmc]

Ok.

Ok. How can I make it round up to 45 ml?

Currently, there's no way to redefine units. You could update the tablespoon value in your own fork here by replacing 1.47867648e-5 with 1.5e-5:

Willingly. I could add any missing unit with actual use and not conflicting with existing ones.

[barbmc]

My complete list is attached. A lot of them won't be relevant to you as they come from recipes
