About Converting Metric tablespoon per Seconds to Gallon per Seconds
Metric tablespoon per Seconds and Gallon 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
gallon per seconds = metric tablespoon per seconds × 0.00396258078537
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric tablespoon per seconds equals 0.000015 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric tablespoon per seconds-to-gallon per seconds factor of 0.00396258078537.
Simple example
1 metric tbsp/s × 0.003962580785 = 0.0039625808 gal/s
1 metric tablespoon per seconds = 0.0039625808 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 metric tbsp/s × 0.003962580785 = 0.2377548471 gal/s
60 metric tablespoon per seconds = 0.2377548471 gallon per seconds.

What is a metric tablespoon per seconds?
Metric tablespoon per Seconds (metric tbsp/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the metric tablespoon per seconds to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric tablespoon per seconds and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.003962580785 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.
