About Converting Tablespoon per Seconds to Gallon per Minutes
Tablespoon per Seconds and Gallon 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
gallon per minutes = tablespoon per seconds × 0.234375
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 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct tablespoon per seconds-to-gallon per minutes factor of 0.234375.
Simple example
1 tbsp/s × 0.234375 = 0.234375 gal/min
1 tablespoon per seconds = 0.234375 gallon per minutes.
Real-world example
60 tbsp/s × 0.234375 = 14.0625 gal/min
60 tablespoon per seconds = 14.0625 gallon per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per minutes are in 1 tablespoon per seconds?
1 tablespoon per seconds equals 0.234375 gallon per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert tablespoon per seconds to gallon per minutes?
Multiply the tablespoon per seconds value by 0.234375. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per minutes back to tablespoon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per minutes equals 4.266666667 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 gallon per minutes?
Gallon per Minutes (gal/min) measures volumetric flow rate. The standard US unit for pump, plumbing, and irrigation flow-rate specifications. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the tablespoon per seconds to gallon per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both tablespoon per seconds and gallon per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.234375 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.
