Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic yard per hour measure?
-
It quantifies the volume of one cubic yard passing a point every hour, often used for large-scale flow rates in construction and material handling.
-
Why convert cubic yard/hour to cubic centimeter/second?
-
This conversion helps translate large volumetric flows into precise smaller-scale values suitable for laboratory or medical uses.
-
Are cubic centimeter per second and milliliter per second the same?
-
Yes, one cubic centimeter per second equals one milliliter per second, commonly used in fluid flow measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic yard/hour (yd³/h)
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic yard passing a point each hour, used in construction, dredging, and material transport.
-
Cubic centimeter/second (cm³/s)
-
A flow unit indicating one cubic centimeter passing a point per second, equivalent to one milliliter per second, used in labs and medical dosing.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measurement of the volume of fluid or material moving through a cross-section per unit time.
