About Converting Metric tablespoon per Hours to Liter per Seconds
Metric tablespoon per Hours and Liter 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
liter per seconds = metric tablespoon per hours × 0.00000416666666667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric tablespoon per hours equals 4.166667e-9 base units, and 1 liter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric tablespoon per hours-to-liter per seconds factor of 0.00000416666666667.
Simple example
1 metric tbsp/h × 0.000004166666667 = 0.0000041667 L/s
1 metric tablespoon per hours = 0.0000041667 liter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 metric tbsp/h × 0.000004166666667 = 0.00025 L/s
60 metric tablespoon per hours = 0.00025 liter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Metric tablespoon per Hours (metric tbsp/h) | Liter per Seconds (L/s) |

| 1 metric tbsp/h | 0.0000041667 L/s |
| 10 metric tbsp/h | 0.0000416667 L/s |
| 60 metric tbsp/h | 0.00025 L/s |
| 100 metric tbsp/h | 0.0004166667 L/s |
| 1,000 metric tbsp/h | 0.0041666667 L/s |
Reverse conversion: Liter per Seconds to Metric tablespoon per Hours
0.0000041667 L/s × 240000 = 1.000008 metric tbsp/h
0.0000041667 liter per seconds = 1.000008 metric tablespoon per hours.
metric tablespoon per hours = liter per seconds × 240000

Understanding the Metric tablespoon per Hours (metric tbsp/h)
Volumetric flow rate.
Understanding the Liter per Seconds
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Where it's used: Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
L/s vs. L/min. Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Uses of the Liter per Seconds today
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates
- Industrial process flow specifications
- Stream and river discharge measurement at moderate scales
Liter per Seconds — sources
- BIPM SI Brochure — Litre and second as accepted units used together to express flow rate.

How do I convert liter per seconds back to metric tablespoon per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per seconds equals 240,000 metric tablespoon per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a metric tablespoon per hours?
Metric tablespoon per Hours (metric tbsp/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a liter per seconds?
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Is the metric tablespoon per hours to liter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric tablespoon per hours and liter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000004166666667 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What is the difference between l/s vs. l/min?
Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
