About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Metric tablespoons per Millisecond
Cubic foot per Seconds and Metric tablespoon per Millisecond both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
metric tablespoons per millisecond = cubic foot per seconds × 1.8877897728
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 metric tablespoon per millisecond equals 0.015 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-metric tablespoon per millisecond factor of 1.8877897728.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 1.887789773 = 1.887789773 metric tbsp/ms
1 cubic foot per seconds = 1.887789773 metric tablespoons per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 1.887789773 = 113.2673864 metric tbsp/ms
60 cubic foot per seconds = 113.2673864 metric tablespoons per millisecond.

What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
