What does cubic yard/hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic yard passing a point in one hour, commonly used in construction and dredging.

Why convert to gallon (UK)/second?

Converting to gallon (UK)/second allows flow rates to be expressed in imperial units prevalent in waterworks, firefighting, and industrial processes using older or imperial systems.

Can this converter be used for transient flow conditions?

No, the conversion assumes steady flow and may not be accurate for transient or complex flow regimes without further adjustments.
