How to Convert Cubic yard per minute to Cubic meter per secondCubic meter per second
1 yd3/min = 0.012742593129368584 m3/s
1 m3/s = 78.476962251525 yd3/min
Example: convert 42 yd3/min to m3/s:
42 yd3/min = 42 x 0.012742593129368584 = 0.5351889114334805 m3/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.
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
