1 gal/min = 0.2970676176956372 yd3/h
1 yd3/h = 3.3662369791666666 gal/min
Example: convert 18 gal/min to yd3/h:
18 gal/min = 18 x 0.2970676176956372 = 5.34721711852147 yd3/h
Gallon per minute
Definition: Gallons per minute (gal/min) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid that passes a point in one minute, measured in gallons. This is a widely used measure in many industries for flow quantification.
History/origin: Like gal/s, the origin comes from the need to measure fluid flow rates in practical applications. The gallon is an established unit of volume, and the 'per minute' component allows for a convenient measurement over a manageable time interval.
Current use: It's used extensively in applications like measuring water flow in households, industrial processes, and in vehicle fuel consumption. It is a common unit for pumps, showers, and irrigation systems.
Cubic yard per hour
Definition: Cubic yards per hour (yd3/h) is a flow rate unit that describes the volume of material (liquid or solid) passing a point in one hour, measured in cubic yards. It is suitable for slower, large-volume material transfers.
History/origin: Originating from the cubic yard as a volume unit, this measure utilizes an hourly time frame. It is helpful in contexts that require slow, precise material delivery.
Current use: It's used in construction for estimating material needs over time, in certain agricultural processes, and in industrial processes with slower material throughput.
