About Converting Deciliter per Seconds to Metric teaspoon per Seconds
Deciliter 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
metric teaspoon per seconds = deciliter per seconds × 20
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciliter per seconds equals 0.0001 base units, and 1 metric teaspoon per seconds equals 0.000005 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciliter per seconds-to-metric teaspoon per seconds factor of 20.
Simple example
1 dL/s × 20 = 20 metric tsp/s
1 deciliter per seconds = 20 metric teaspoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 dL/s × 20 = 1,200 metric tsp/s
60 deciliter per seconds = 1,200 metric teaspoon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many metric teaspoon per seconds are in 1 deciliter per seconds?
1 deciliter per seconds equals 20 metric teaspoon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert deciliter per seconds to metric teaspoon per seconds?
Multiply the deciliter per seconds value by 20. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric teaspoon per seconds back to deciliter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric teaspoon per seconds equals 0.05 deciliter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a deciliter per seconds?
Deciliter per Seconds (dL/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a metric teaspoon per seconds?
Metric teaspoon per Seconds (metric tsp/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the deciliter per seconds to metric teaspoon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both deciliter per seconds and metric teaspoon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 20 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
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.
