What does cubic yard per hour measure?

It measures the volume of one cubic yard of fluid or material passing a point each hour, often used in construction and dredging.

Why convert cubic yard/hour to gallon (US)/second?

This conversion helps align flow rates between bulk materials and liquid volumes for engineering, firefighting, irrigation, and industrial applications.

Are there limitations to this conversion?

Yes, it assumes consistent material flow without phase changes and may not fully capture differences in solids versus liquids flow characteristics.
