About Converting Tablespoon per Seconds to Cubic Meter per Seconds
Tablespoon per Seconds and Cubic Meter 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
cubic meter per seconds = tablespoon per seconds × 0.0000147867647813
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 meter per seconds equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct tablespoon per seconds-to-cubic meter per seconds factor of 0.0000147867647813.
Simple example
1 tbsp/s × 0.00001478676478 = 0.0000147868 m3/s
1 tablespoon per seconds = 0.0000147868 cubic meter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 tbsp/s × 0.00001478676478 = 0.0008872059 m3/s
60 tablespoon per seconds = 0.0008872059 cubic meter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic meter per seconds are in 1 tablespoon per seconds?
1 tablespoon per seconds equals 0.0000147868 cubic meter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert tablespoon per seconds to cubic meter per seconds?
Multiply the tablespoon per seconds value by 0.00001478676478. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic meter per seconds back to tablespoon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic meter per seconds equals 67,628.0454 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 meter per seconds?
Cubic Meter per Seconds (m3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. The SI coherent unit for volumetric flow rate — one cubic meter of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a SI coherent derived unit.
Is the tablespoon per seconds to cubic meter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both tablespoon per seconds and cubic meter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001478676478 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.
