About Converting Tablespoon per Seconds to Metric tablespoon per Seconds
Tablespoon per Seconds 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 seconds × 0.98578431875
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 metric tablespoon per seconds equals 0.000015 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct tablespoon per seconds-to-metric tablespoon per seconds factor of 0.98578431875.
Simple example
1 tbsp/s × 0.9857843188 = 0.9857843188 metric tbsp/s
1 tablespoon per seconds = 0.9857843188 metric tablespoon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 tbsp/s × 0.9857843188 = 59.14705912 metric tbsp/s
60 tablespoon per seconds = 59.14705912 metric tablespoon per seconds.

What is a tablespoon per seconds?
Tablespoon per Seconds (tbsp/s) 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 seconds to metric tablespoon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both tablespoon per seconds and metric tablespoon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.9857843188 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.
