About Converting Tablespoon per Hours to Metric tablespoon per Seconds
Tablespoon per Hours 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 = tablespoon per hours × 0.000273828977431
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 tablespoon per hours equals 4.107435e-9 base units, and 1 metric tablespoon per seconds equals 0.000015 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct tablespoon per hours-to-metric tablespoon per seconds factor of 0.000273828977431.
Simple example
1 tbsp/h × 0.0002738289774 = 0.000273829 metric tbsp/s
1 tablespoon per hours = 0.000273829 metric tablespoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 tbsp/h × 0.0002738289774 = 0.0164297387 metric tbsp/s
60 tablespoon per hours = 0.0164297387 metric tablespoon per seconds.

What is a tablespoon per hours?
Tablespoon per Hours (tbsp/h) 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 tablespoon per hours to metric tablespoon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both tablespoon per hours and metric tablespoon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0002738289774 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.
