About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Metric teaspoon per Seconds
Cubic foot per Seconds and Metric teaspoon per Seconds 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 teaspoon per seconds = cubic foot per seconds × 5663.3693184
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 teaspoon per seconds equals 0.000005 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-metric teaspoon per seconds factor of 5663.3693184.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 5663.369318 = 5,663.369318 metric tsp/s
1 cubic foot per seconds = 5,663.369318 metric teaspoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 5663.369318 = 339,802.1591 metric tsp/s
60 cubic foot per seconds = 339,802.1591 metric teaspoon per seconds.

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.
