About Converting Metric teaspoon per Seconds to Cubic foot per Seconds
Metric teaspoon per Seconds and Cubic foot 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 foot per seconds = metric teaspoon per seconds × 0.000176573333607
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric teaspoon per seconds equals 0.000005 base units, and 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric teaspoon per seconds-to-cubic foot per seconds factor of 0.000176573333607.
Simple example
1 metric tsp/s × 0.0001765733336 = 0.0001765733 ft3/s
1 metric teaspoon per seconds = 0.0001765733 cubic foot per seconds.
Real-world example
60 metric tsp/s × 0.0001765733336 = 0.0105944 ft3/s
60 metric teaspoon per seconds = 0.0105944 cubic foot per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per seconds are in 1 metric teaspoon per seconds?
1 metric teaspoon per seconds equals 0.0001765733 cubic foot per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert metric teaspoon per seconds to cubic foot per seconds?
Multiply the metric teaspoon per seconds value by 0.0001765733336. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds back to metric teaspoon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 5,663.369318 metric teaspoon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a metric teaspoon per seconds?
Metric teaspoon per Seconds (metric tsp/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per seconds?
Cubic foot per Seconds (ft3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the metric teaspoon per seconds to cubic foot per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric teaspoon per seconds and cubic foot per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0001765733336 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.
