How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic meter per hour (m³/h) you wish to convert
-
Select cubic meter/hour as the starting unit and cubic yard/hour as the target unit
-
Click convert to view the equivalent flow rate in cubic yard per hour (yd³/h)
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between cubic meters per hour and cubic yards per hour
-
Includes precise conversion based on established ratios
-
Supports engineering and industrial applications such as HVAC, wastewater management, and material handling
Examples
-
5 m³/h converts to approximately 6.54 yd³/h using the conversion factor

-
Defining pump capacities in water and wastewater systems
-
Sizing ventilation and HVAC flows for buildings
-
Measuring dredge discharge or concrete placement rates on construction sites
-
Calculating flow rates for irrigation and slurry transport systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady flow conditions for accurate volumetric measurements
-
Use the tool for regional or industry-specific unit translations
-
Consider operational parameters like temperature and pressure for high-precision tasks
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on the consistent definition of units and may involve rounding
-
Volumetric flow rate can vary with fluid properties and measurement techniques
-
For precise applications, additional factors like fluid density changes should be considered
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from cubic meter per hour to cubic yard per hour?
-
Conversion allows expressing flow rates in units commonly used in specific regions or industries such as construction and dredging where non-SI units are preferred.
-
Is the conversion factor constant?
-
Yes, the tool uses a fixed conversion rate of 1 m³/h equal to approximately 1.30795 yd³/h for consistent results.
-
Can this tool be used for gas flow rates?
-
Yes, since cubic meter per hour measures volumetric flow, it applies to both liquids and gases as long as flow conditions are steady.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter per hour [m^3/h]
-
A unit measuring how much volume of a fluid passes a point in one hour, used for liquids and gases.
-
Cubic yard per hour [yd^3/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the volume of one cubic yard passing a point each hour, common in construction and material transport.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid volume passing a given point per unit time.
