1 yd3/h = 0.056103949652777776 gal/s
1 gal/s = 17.824057061738234 yd3/h
Example: convert 67 yd3/h to gal/s:
67 yd3/h = 67 x 0.056103949652777776 = 3.758964626736111 gal/s
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.
Gallon per second
Definition: A gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, specifically in gallons and seconds. It is commonly used in contexts where relatively large volumes of liquids are transferred quickly.
History/origin: The gallon is a unit of volume with historical roots in various systems of liquid measurement. The 'per second' component simply standardizes the volume measurement to a time interval. Its origin ties back to practical needs in trade and industry to quantify liquid flow.
Current use: It is used in various applications, including industrial processes, water treatment plants, and contexts where high flow rates are significant, such as in firefighting or large-scale pumping operations. It provides a clear measure of liquid flow speed.
