What does cubic yard per hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate, representing how many cubic yards of fluid or bulk material pass a point each hour.

Where is gallon (UK)/minute commonly used?

It is used in contexts involving imperial units such as plumbing, water supply, irrigation, and firefighting equipment sizing.

Can this conversion handle compressible fluids?

No, the conversion assumes incompressible fluid flow; differences in fluid density or conditions do not affect the numeric conversion.
