How to Convert Cubic yard per minute to Gallon per secondGallon per second
1 yd3/min = 3.3662369791666666 gal/s
1 gal/s = 0.2970676176956372 yd3/min
Example: convert 1 yd3/min to gal/s:
1 yd3/min = 1 x 3.3662369791666666 = 3.3662369791666666 gal/s
Cubic yard per minute
Definition: Cubic yards per minute (yd3/min) is a flow rate unit specifying the volume of material (liquid or solid) passing a point in one minute, measured in cubic yards. It's suitable for substantial, but not extremely rapid, volume transfers.
History/origin: Like yd3/s, it is based on the cubic yard volume unit. The minute time frame provides a more practical interval for volume rate assessment.
Current use: It's used in mining operations, concrete pouring for large structures, and industrial processes involving substantial material transfer.
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.
