Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of table salt weighs 18.3 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
1/3 tablespoon of table salt equals 6.08 grams; the way back, from grams to tablespoons, is the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
1/3 US tablespoon of table salt is also 1 US teaspoon — the same 6.08 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 8.23 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 6.17 grams.
How 1/3 tablespoon of table salt was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of table salt weighs 18.3 grams (eighteen point three), so multiply 1/3 by 18.25.
1/3 × 18.25 g
≈6.08 grams
(six point zero eight grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of table salt is 5.48 tablespoons there.
