About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Metric teaspoon per Seconds
Gallon per Minutes 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. Gallon per Minutes is most often used for us residential and commercial plumbing fixture flow ratings.
Formula
metric teaspoon per seconds = gallon per minutes × 12.61803928
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, and 1 metric teaspoon per seconds equals 0.000005 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-metric teaspoon per seconds factor of 12.61803928.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 12.61803928 = 12.61803928 metric tsp/s
1 gallon per minutes = 12.61803928 metric teaspoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 12.61803928 = 757.0823568 metric tsp/s
60 gallon per minutes = 757.0823568 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.
