About Converting Tablespoon per Seconds to Cubic foot per Minutes
Tablespoon per Seconds and Cubic foot per Minutes 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
cubic foot per minutes = tablespoon per seconds × 0.0313313802083
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 tablespoon per seconds equals 0.0000147867647813 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct tablespoon per seconds-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.0313313802083.
Simple example
1 tbsp/s × 0.03133138021 = 0.0313313802 ft3/min
1 tablespoon per seconds = 0.0313313802 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 tbsp/s × 0.03133138021 = 1.879882813 ft3/min
60 tablespoon per seconds = 1.879882813 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 tablespoon per seconds?
1 tablespoon per seconds equals 0.0313313802 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert tablespoon per seconds to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the tablespoon per seconds value by 0.03133138021. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to tablespoon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 31.91688312 tablespoon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a tablespoon per seconds?
Tablespoon per Seconds (tbsp/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the tablespoon per seconds to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both tablespoon per seconds and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.03133138021 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.
