About Converting Imperial gallon per Minutes to Metric tablespoon per Seconds
Imperial gallon per Minutes and Metric tablespoon 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 tablespoon per seconds = imperial gallon per minutes × 5.05121111111
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757681666667 base units, and 1 metric tablespoon per seconds equals 0.000015 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per minutes-to-metric tablespoon per seconds factor of 5.05121111111.
Simple example
1 imp gal/min × 5.051211111 = 5.051211111 metric tbsp/s
1 imperial gallon per minutes = 5.051211111 metric tablespoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/min × 5.051211111 = 303.0726667 metric tbsp/s
60 imperial gallon per minutes = 303.0726667 metric tablespoon per seconds.

What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a metric tablespoon per seconds?
Metric tablespoon per Seconds (metric tbsp/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the imperial gallon per minutes to metric tablespoon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per minutes and metric tablespoon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 5.051211111 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.
