-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in cubic foot/hour.
-
Use the results for your engineering calculations or system specifications.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from cubic yard/hour (yd^3/h) to cubic foot/hour (ft^3/h).
-
Provides a simple formula-based calculation ready for engineering and operational use.
-
Suitable for various industries including construction, dredging, irrigation, HVAC, and natural gas distribution.
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
Examples
-
2 yd^3/h converts to 54.0000000026 ft^3/h.
-
0.5 yd^3/h converts to 13.50000000065 ft^3/h.
Common Use Cases
-
Setting pump or dredge discharge flow rates for excavation projects.
-
Calculating concrete or aggregate delivery volumes on construction sites.
-
Determining conveyance requirements for irrigation or stormwater systems.
-
Specifying ventilation or exhaust volumes in HVAC design.
-
Measuring gas flows in pipelines and metering equipment.
-
Sizing pumps, blowers, and filters in industrial systems with moderate flows.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you input steady flow rates for accurate conversion results.
-
Use this tool to standardize flow measurements when working across different units.
-
Apply conversions when transitioning between construction-scale and process-level volumetric flow rates.
-
Consider system conditions such as temperature and material consistency separately, as this conversion assumes homogeneity.
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow rates without accounting for variations in fluid or material density.
-
Does not address temperature or compressibility effects in the volumetric flow.
-
Conversion precision is up to practical engineering significant digits; extended decimal places are generally unnecessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic yard/hour measure?
-
It measures the volume of one cubic yard of fluid or material passing a point in one hour, commonly used in construction or material handling.
-
Why convert cubic yard/hour to cubic foot/hour?
-
Conversion is needed to adapt flow rates into smaller volumetric units useful for HVAC, gas flow, or precise process measurements.
-
Are temperature or material density changes considered in this conversion?
-
No, this conversion assumes steady flow and homogeneous materials without adjustments for density or temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic yard per hour (yd^3/h)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit describing the volume of one cubic yard passing a point in one hour, often used in construction and bulk material handling.
-
Cubic foot per hour (ft^3/h)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic foot of fluid passing a point in an hour, used in engineering and process measurements.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of volume passing through a cross-section or point per unit time.
