What does one cubic yard per hour represent?

It represents the volume of one cubic yard passing a point each hour, indicating the flow rate of fluid or bulk material.

Why convert cubic yards per hour to gallons per hour?

To translate volumetric flow rates commonly used for bulk materials into liquid flow units, enabling compatibility with equipment specifying flow in gallons per hour.

Can this tool convert mass flow rates?

No, this converter only applies to volumetric flow rates and does not account for variations in material density or compressibility.
